Peter GleickIf you make $100,000 a year (not bad), it will take you 10 million years to earn a trillion dollars.
If you make a million dollars a year (wow!), it'll still take you a million years to earn a trillion dollars.
Tax the rich.
Jordan@petergleick I'm still waiting for all of us to decide to simply disregard the monetary system all together, and motivate ourselves to accomplish great things based on our personal and collective morals and ethics.

Slash909uk@thedarkener @petergleick I'm with Graebner on this; money should really only represent keeping score of the good one has provided to society i.e. a 'moral debt' thus should be earned by doing good for others. The only way such stupidly huge greed can exist is because money isnt real; it only has value if we collectively believe it does.
