Generosity and charity is to let a few hold most of the wealth.  Think
about it.  We, the m*****, are too stupid and base to know what to do
with wealth so it's better if we let the plutocracy decide how wealth
is distributed.  They know the right formula of how much wealth to
give us to keep us alive so that we can build all of the things that
they want.

20% percent of our population controls controls around 85% of our
wealth.  The bottom 80% controls only 15% of the wealth.   To
simplify, imagine a room with a hundred people.  The combined wealth
of everyone in that room is 10 million dollars.  The richest 20, who
control about 85% of the wealth, each has 425000 on average or 8.5
million total.  The bottom 80 people, who control only 15% of the
wealth, each has 18750 dollars on average or 1.5 million total.

What does 85% wealth get you?  More say with politicians since we have
no sensible campaign financing laws.  More control over how resources
are used.  More say in how our economy operates and how jobs are
managed.  Your little stack of dollars only buys you enough to live on
and perhaps some toys to keep you distracted from how little say you
have in your life.
