    No, that’s not any of this works. In a free market, it’s entirely possible (and often the case) that both the rich fucks and everyone else benefit.

    I recommend Basic Economics by Thomas Sowell and also Poor Economics by Abhijit V. Banerjee.

    edit Based on the voting response, I guess I should have suggested something from Dr. Seuss first.

          Please humble yourself and acknowledge that maybe you’re not an expert on the subject after reading “the basics of…” book about it. Just a thought.

          Keep in mind that there are people who have dedicated their careers/lives to studying this stuff. Don’t disregard rebuttals just because your “basics of economics” or whatever book didn’t get there yet.

          The real world just doesn’t work that way. But maybe if you went beyond Econ 100 level shit (or honestly, not even), you would have learned that.
