Superboháči - najväčší žijúci paraziti
Záchrany bánk, špekulátori, manipulanti a výrobcovia slúžia svojmu účelu. Z multi-milionárov sa stali miliardári, z miliardárov multi-miliardári. Podľa časopisu Forbes je vo svete 1210 jednotlivcov (vo väčšine sú to príslušníci rodinných klanov) s čistou hodnotou majetku min. 1 miliardy dolárov. Ich celková čistá hodnota majetku sa odhaduje na 4,5 bilióna dolárov, čo je viac ako celková hodnota majetku 4 miliárd ľudí na planéte. Navyše súčasná koncentrácia bohatstva v rukách malej skupiny "vyvolených" jedincov prekonala všetky doterajšie rekordy kumulácie bohatstva v histórii ľudstva: od kráľa Midasa, cez Maharadžov, barónov až po nedávnych magnátov zo Silicon Valley resp. Wall Street.
Analýzy zdroja ich bohatstva, distribúcia v svetovej ekonomike a metódy jeho akumulácie poukazujú na niekoľko dôležitých rozdielov s následnými veľkými politickými dôsledkami.
The US has the most billionaires in the world (413), better than one third of the total, the greatest proportion among the “big countries in the world. A closer look also reveals that among the top 200 billionaires (those with $5.2 billion and more) there are 57 from the US (29%). Over one third made their fortune through speculative activity, predators on the productive economy and exploiters of the property and stock market. This is the highest percentage of any major country in Europe or Asia (with the exception of England). The enormous concentration of wealth in the hands of this tiny parasitical ruling class is one reason why the US has the worst inequalities of any advanced economy and among the worst in the entire world. Speculators do not employ workers, they secure tax loopholes and bailouts and then press for cuts in the social budget, since they do not require a healthy, educated workforce (except for a tiny elite).
