Some. For sure. But put system is designed to keep people poor. To keep the masses laboring. Economic rents work most efficiently when the masses work day in and day out for a dollar that is worth ever less…when they pay interest on houses for 30 years…when laws require that they have auto insurance…when healthcare is not an option unless they choose to pay a 30% subsidy to insurance companies…when 40% of their income goes to housing.

People like identify themselves with billionaires when they feel rich from a hard day’s work. But our hard day’s work provides us wages. Their day provides them economic rents, which come from taxes, interest payments, mortgages, and financial services…. extracted from your hard work.
