Message: Entry: The Ugliest Yacht in the World Link: http://www.takimag.com/blogs/article/the_ugliest_yacht_in_the_world#33172 Post contents: Simon Tregarth, Any excessive wealth, I believe, is an ill-gotten wealth. You cannot win an excessive wealth simply by working from 9 to 5 or from 8 to 6 and also working overtime to and keeping the Bible or the Koran or the Torah or whatever in your pocket the same time. Doesn’t makes sense to me, it’s impossible. And since you cannot win an excess wealth with your honest work there has to be a mechanism of transfer of wealth,say, to me. Lets say that I “win” the lottery, one million dollars for example. Because I have the right combination of numbers the authority, say the State or the government, goes to transfer to me a small portion, a percentage, of the money, the millions of dollars paid already to the authority by millions others. It is a transfer of wealth to myself, thanks to the right combination of numbers. The same thing happens concerning the transfer of the social wealth in our society, thanks to the right legislation, to the right connection, to the right information and so on. Now, I have tried to find any good in the market produced by the secretary and I couldn’t find anything. I tried again to find any good in the market produced by George Soros, the guy of our example, and again I was disappointed, nothing. I have to say that I have nothing against Soros and the kind. Nevertheless the later is a billionaire, a legal one, without ever produces any consumable good, without ever produces any wealth. He simply got his fortune by transfer, “legally, he didn’t win his fortune. Now, the wealthy purchases don’t add anything to the GDP. A Picasso on my wall doesn’t make the society richer. You’re right saying that you cannot get a job from the middle and lower class because you have to work, together with the middle and lower class, for the few, to make the transfer possible.
