I'll finish my comments with this:
All this talk about the 'evil' rich overlooks the fact that either through their own selfishness or benevolence they've brought some great things to the masses.
The Romans were the ultimate bad-guy 01%ers but look at the architecture, order and civilization they brought to the world.
The DeMedici's had their own issues but where would be be without Venice, Florence, the art and sophistication they gave us.
Throughout the ages, there were wealthy 01%ers who sponsored the likes of DaVinci, Michelangelo, Voltaire, Newton, Brae, Copernicus, on and on.
Today we have Bill and Melinda Gates among countless others, many anonymous.
"This PBS program is brought to you through a generous gift of the X family foundation" (who the heck are they?)
Virtually every hospital and museum you visit has some wealthy benefactor's name on the wall who dropped a few million to help build it.
In my neck of the woods we have the Peter Lynch (ex Fidelity) family who've donated mega-millions to the betterment of the locals here.
Some comments here sound as if the rich just sit on their yachts drinking martinis dreaming up ways to further oppress the poor and line their pockets. Are all these people flawed? Surely. Is every 01%er a philanthropist? No. But for all the flaws there are many who've contributed greatly to our lives, civilization and made the world a better place.
