      Because the idea that wealth is being “hoarded” because someone has it is childish like a cartoon.

        When you don’t have any way to use that wealth, you are hoarding it and harming the economy. I’m pretty sure you know that if you actually are going to be controlling that much wealth.

          And now you are back to the cartoonish understanding of wealth. Wealth is not held in cash or unused assets, typcially, it is held in assets like stock, bonds and real estate.

            Real estate hoarding is hoarding resources.

            Stocks and bonds are ways to tie up cash as assets, and aren’t producing any economic growth, they just tie more cash up in the asset.

            This is why every dollar that is given to a rich person shrinks the economy by up to the entire dollar.

              Real estate is the same as any other asset. And then you said more silly things.

              Sorry man but you dont understand what any of these things are, I am not going to argue with you.
