Le secret des grandes fortunes sans cause apparente est un crime oubliĂ©, parce quâil a Ă©tĂ© proprement fait.
NPR and the LA Times reported it as 7-2 split, but maybe theyâre assuming something that shouldnât be assumed.

Just because itâs French doesnât make it any less stupid. If you honestly think every rich person is corrupt you are simply not worth engaging in rational discussion.

Do you have any examples of people with obscene amounts of money who did it by just being hard working and honest?

This is such an insanely stupid conversation. Is everyone who has a million dollars corrupt? Five million? Does auto corruption start at 25 million or not until 26 million?

Who does it serve for you to #actually and reductio ad absurdum any broad brush attack on the rich? For example, I say, âLetâs guillotine all the billionaires!â and you reply, âWait wait wait, Iâm sure some billionaires are good people!â
Like, wtf would be your goal there? Because in practice, in the real world, youâre just giving cover to the people doing all the thieving and oppressing. Weâre in a massively asymmetric battle and you keep falling all over yourself making arguments that only benefit the side that already has all the money and power. Stop doing that.

It starts once you get into numbers that are literally impossible for a working person to achieve. Someone who works for 40 years can manage to build their way up to a $5-10 million net worth but thatâs including things like their house appreciating in value, retirement funding, and other general assets that give you a high net worth without having a bunch of liquid capital.
According to the NY Post, last year there were
Iâm confident that 172,827 of those households are corrupt.

No I wonât stop. We are suppose to be the side of facts and reason. Facts matter. Period. Better outcomes are derived when facts are the basis. The absolute worst tendencies of the right are ALL based on their penchant for generalizing groups of people yet way too many people here are happy to adopt this basic structural logic failing.
