Well the money we usually transact with is worthless. So technically just about 99% of the population is poor paper currency or not. And 99%is being generous. I doubt many people own solid gold.

Your logic is flawed. In reality, solid gold is just as worthless as paper money.

Material only has the value we give it as a society.

If you Dutch imma steal yo tulips ya dig?

We cannot reproduce and easily carry around gold like we can with paper currency. Gold has an established rarity, we can't make new authentic gold, we can only mine new sources of it. There are rarer materials, but gold has a particular luster i suppose. Still, gold can always be welded into very durable materials.

wat, do you seriously think just because our ISPs happen to go through new jersey, that I'm clearly The Lord? Bane wouldnt have let me back into MSF anyways

So you're saying if we take money from the poor and give it to the rich, money will magically appear in the hands of the poor?

In his slight defence, he's not really saying that. He's saying that if the rich get richer, the poor will get richer (which I don't agree with, but that's what he's saying).

The question is how the rich are getting richer ?

Working with society or against it

Back on topic please.

I love how Mr. Rape Fan is trying hard to keep the thread on topic, but no one cares what he has to say.
