He makes a good argument for that; Irish/European investors doing quite well following the weak dollar and strong Euro, buying up property in New York and having a knock-on effect for the poorer locals. That's relating the accumulation of wealth to a zero sum game and seems a fair assessment to me.

If my beliefs are Idiotic. Please explain to me how we have more stuff today then the caveman if there is a zero sum game?

[bapyou]

No problem with free speech. You are free to spout your idiocies whenever and wherever you choose to spout them. But because you write them, does this mean they are any less idiotic?

[OxAO]

Wealth can not be a zero sum game. There are millions more people today then there was 10,000 years ago yet we have more stuff then the caveman.

[OxAO]

I don't know what I said now...but what ever it was i meant it.

Those that were inclined to remove my thoughts have serous control issues.

You have a problem with free speech or what?

OxAO: You're an idiot. Stop commenting.
