This has to be one of the most backwards comments I’ve read on HN. Read Devil Take the Hindmost and educate yourself. The wealthiest people in modern history lost the most and some drove themselves to absolute poverty. Many couldn’t even mentally handle the extreme quality of life change so they killed themselves.

Why leap to the defense of the ultra rich? They certainly don't need it.

I guess it’s easy to forget about The Great Depression.
