is allowed to be taken out of the economy for personal self interested reasons. In a prosperous economy the rich would still own everything. In a non prosperous economy the rich are allowed to create poverty and suffering.
Most people simply want to make a living and enjoy their families and friends. Everything is easily attainable in a prosperous economy. The only thing depriving the world of prosperity is the selfish greed of some people wanting to control all the money. If the billionaires would invest in jobs producing ventures prosperity would result. They would still own everything but would now be making life better for everybody. The country would benefit from the increased tax revenue. Money should be looked at like a resource and regulations passed to prevent money from being hoarded into stagnation.
Mark Cuban inadvertently exposed the problem when he described having a significant amount of money as fuck you money. Having so much money that you answer to nobody. He referred to IPOs as the key to getting fuck you money. His ideals are not to be responsible for generating living income jobs. His ideal is to have fuck you money. He has no concern for all the lives he deprived of a good living. Money should be circulated at increased velocity to produce prosperity.

But when it comes to an election year, re-election and maintaining their power base - the money all of a sudden becomes available.
We Americans have to become smarter when dealing with these corrupt hypocrites. We need to take back control of our fates and not put it in the hands of these greedy criminals.
