Easy, the main point everybody seems to miss is that it gets easier to amass money the more you have. Companies like Amazon pay little taxes and can borrow money at prime or less. The average person is lucky if they can get a loan at 10%.

Be wealth It is mostly the result of being born in the right family.

To become wealthy does take hard work. Honestly. But hard work doesn't equal high pay. It's supply vs demand. How many people can do this job vs. how many jobs do we actually have for those people? Not everybody can be an accountant. Takes special knowledge and skills. Washing dishes is hard work, but anybody can wash a dish. Some can do it better than others, but anybody can learn it. No special licenses or education required. If I have unskilled labor positions for a 10 people, and 150 people apply, I've got low demand and high supply. Low wage. If I have skilled labor positions for 5 people and maybe 5 people apply, but I'm competing with three other agencies for those people, then we've got low supply and high demand, and consequently high cost.

In a nutshell: because single moms pay more taxes than multibillion companies while single moms need to rely on the foodstamps that their taxmoney pays for because the multibillion companies refuse to pay a decent wage. Instead Jeff Bezos pays the 19K parking tickets the contractors working on his X-million house got, deducting them as unforseen refurbishment costs.

Wealth is the result of manipulate poor people for their benefit and politicians have huge influence to make it worse.. That's how capitalism works.. You may see it obviously when you analyse the Hong Kong community..

it's all that about your are the culmination of your choices and all that b******t.

Hard work is not the only factor... not even close. If it was, single mothers would be near the top. Personal decisions is a bigger factor.

wealth is result of smart work sometimes, poor people do the majority of hard work.

because working harder is foolish. You need to work smarter, get an education to achieve a job of good pay instead of running yourself ragged at 3 c**p jobs

And what most people fail to realize is even those moms working 3 jobs in America are still wealthier than the vast majority of people in the world. Doesn't mean there isn't a problem, just mean we need more perspective.

Because you can work hard shoveling s**t your whole life and still just have a pile of s**t to show for it. The wealthy are wealthy because they have figured out how to solve a problem for millions of people at an affordable price.
