(Bud Fox: How much is enough?) It’s not a question of enough, pal. It’s a zero sum game, somebody wins, somebody loses. Money itself isn’t lost or made, it’s simply transferred from one perception to another.
The richest one percent of this country owns half our country’s wealth, five trillion dollars. One third of that comes from hard work, two thirds comes from inheritance, interest on interest accumulating to widows and idiot sons and what I do, stock and real estate speculation. It’s bullshit. You got ninety percent of the American public out there with little or no net worth. I create nothing. I own. We make the rules, pal. The news, war, peace, famine, upheaval, the price per paper clip. We pick that rabbit out of the hat while everybody sits out there wondering how the hell we did it. Now you’re not naive enough to think we’re living in a democracy, are you buddy? It’s the free market. And you’re a part of it. You’ve got that killer instinct. Stick around pal, I’ve still got a lot to teach you.

    >It's more than a zero sum game,
    more than somebody loses equals somebody wins
    the winners decide everything
    the winners control everything

    the richest one percent are the winners, they are the casino owners, they provide the games, the rules, the unlimited chips and unlimited time…
    all players has 2 choices when lost game
    1. stop playing
    2. to borrow and continue playing
    all committed players will become losers

    think about unlimited chips, unlimited time verse limited money and limited time,
    who will be the winner?

    Strangely, things are not related yet all related
    unlimited chip verse limited money
    the virtue world verse real world
    saying verse doing
    imagine verse actual fact

    anything imagined always near perfect,
    anything real always imperfect
    live with minimum expectation
