Forbes Billionaire List Updated: Gates Back on Top and New Cocaine Dealer Turned Billionaire

 I admire the power of capitalism but I also fear what it does to this world, the lives it has destroyed and the lives it will destroy. Why Billionaires are put on some pedestal in this country I can’t quite understand. I for one think Bill Gates probably deserves where he is at and I think he is a relatively modest person. He is also quite a philanthropist and I think that deserves mention. The same goes to Warren Buffet. But of that list few deserve praise. They squander their fortunes and give little in return. Who am I to judge but at the same time let’s think of the children for a moment? If we put these people on a pedestal then they certainly deserve some scrutiny. Everyone had a fit when Phelps was on video doing whatever it is he was doing screaming oh but think of the children. My question is why are sports heroes and billionaires people to look up to? When you put so much trust in someone it’s only going to lead to problems.

Now Forbes updated their billionaire list. It’s a who’s who of the rich and powerful. As if we the people are supposed to be on bended knee at the announcement and this time who makes the list? El Chapo a Mexican drug lord who runs the Sinaloa cartel. Nice guy I’m sure.  So please remind me why people like that should be admired while ordinary people who work hard struggle to even get recognition?
