I’m guessing someone stuck the Radiohead bear on there since their early 2000’s era artwork was all about the ever-growing corporate consumption of humanity. Or something.

“…hoard so much cash…”
You know how I know you’re poor and you’ll always, always be poor? Because your idea of who rich people are and how they behave (and how they became rich) comes from Scrooge McDuck comics.
So let’s make it clear: rich people have very little cash. They have lots of properties. They have tons of investments, but very little cash. Because the main reason they are rich is that they make their money work for them. Every single cent of it. So the notion that the money rich people have is somehow taken out of he economy (because they are “hoarding the money”) is utterly ridiculous.
Even Paris Hilton, with all her innumerable flaws as a human being, does more for the economy and to create and maintain more jobs in a month that all the occupy Wall Street bozos combined do in a whole because she spends virtually every single cent she gets. And that’s a key issue: rich people spend tons of money every month, and all that money ends up in someone else’s hands.

Hoarding cash? How stupid are you people. There is no finite sum of money. Why can’t you retards get this concept? There is not some bucket of money that rich people run up to first and reach in and take it all. If you go to work you CREATE wealth. I love though, that you idiots just think money comes out of the clear blue sky magically and the rich have a special unicorn that prances on rainbows to get it and keep if from the “little” guys. If you think that the rich “hoard” cash I can tell you….WITHOUT DOUBT…that you are a MORONIC ASS-HAT.
Wealth is created each and every day. Don’t believe me? Good luck explaining the dotcom boom. Wham! Brand new industry over night. Unlimited potential. Unlimited wealth creation. Don’t like that example. I’ll dumb it down for you. The App industry. Wham! Billion dollar industry didn’t exist even 4 years ago. Wealth is created by hard work, innovation, industry and personal expenditure of effort. But whoever wrote this clearly doesn’t get that. It’s just easier to demand that your neighbor empty his pockets.
I would shoot any one of you in the face with a shot gun if in the same room with you and had to listen to this idiocy.

plus.. Rich people don’t hoard money!!!!!!! they work hard for it!!! give me a break you dilusioned asshat.
This shows the most basic missunderstanding of economics and the problems created by wealth divides I have ever seen. From your stupid gun quote I am guessing you are a middle class right wing American?

Wealthy individuals aren’t really whats wrong with the economic system. Over seven hundred trillion (700,000,000,000) in derivatives is. The central banking system that makes all of our money an expression of debt not wealth is.
Capitalism is not the problem. Crony Capitalism is
Wealthy individuals that are manipulating our system to their own ends and the detriment of society in general ARE THE PROBLEM wealthy politicians that are giving our national wealth away to their corporate sponsors are also the problem. There are plenty of wealthy individuals who are decent folks, but there are plenty more who aren’t.
I’ll agree with this when I can pay my mortgage with last weeks newspapers.
LOL well said . . .
Actually, you can – recycled paper is going for very good rates these days.
I imagine 3.6 trillion newspapers would bring more than enough to pay your mortgage.
You gotta wonder if this message could have been put across without all the window dressing & stupid toothy bear face.

What about the poor who contribute nothing to society?
