Which is why some people create no wealth.....

Which is why, when the wealth class creates nothing but money from
money---they contribute nothing to society

Creating Corporations that allow useless people to produce things that
are considered wealth, is creating wealth. *The person organizing the
production from nothing shares in the creation of that wealth. *Without
them creating and organizing a place for the otherwise unproductive
people to create wealth, no wealth would be created.

Where as the people on their own could NOT have produced anything of
wealth due to a lack of ability.

Who created the Microsoft Wealth? *Without Bill Gates, who would have
created personal computing that would become a world wide success.

He did not create it so much as concentrate it. *Now, he's beginning
to spread it around again...but still, not creating it.

What does your Operating system say?

That's who created it.

Others were created but they are not creating as much wealth.- Hide quoted text -

Again, concentrating wealth. *It has nothing to do with who made the
operating system, but whether or not the wealth he gained was NOT at
the expense of anyone else. *The only way the human race gains wealth
is to mine it or harvest it from the earth - and even then, the earth
loses something. *The resource is finite, and only its redistribution
decides who gets rich and who stays poor. You're just kididing
yourself otherwise. *You cannot get something from nothing.

NOT true at all....

wealth is a measure of both "need and work" *wealth is stored work that
has value. *If the stored work becomes useless to anyone then it has
zero value and is no longer wealth.

Wealth can be gold or it can be a painting or it can be the copywrite
ownership of Windows-7.

The day Windows-8 is released, then Windows-7 will NOT represent as much
wealth.

Soon the U.S. dollar will NO longer be a symbol of wealth, they will
have diminishing value to each of us and will not retain wealth because
they are not of value to people.... *while a can of soup may be of more
value than all the dollars you can carry. *Owning cans of soup may be
real wealth while owning cash is like having a pet rock.- Hide quoted text -

Right - Windows 8 will grab that wealth from Windows 7, and MS will
divert yet more wealth from people who might otherwise be satisfied
with what they have. MS gets richer, the rest of us get poorer.
Redistribution and reconcentration. It ain't new, it's just
repackaged.

Cans of soup are produced by the earth with human energy added (which
also came from the earth). If it represents wealth, it's the wealth
of the entire Earth, which then only makes up its loss when humans die
and go back to it.
