I bet her head exploded!

When asked about the recent Oxfam study that revealed the world's 85 richest people have equal wealth to the 3.5 billion poorest people, Canadian businessman and Shark Tank investor Kevin O'Leary said "it's fantastic."
 "It inspires everybody, gets them motivation to look up to the 1% and say, 'I want to become one of those people, I’m going to fight hard to get up to the top,'" O'Leary said on Monday's episode of his business show. "This is fantastic news and of course I applaud it. What can be wrong with this?"

O'Leary left his co-anchor Amanda Lang dumbfounded. "Really?" she said after a long pause.

When I was a kid I knew we owned a paid for farm and 25 dairy cattle, and Mama got a new car every five years.  This sort of worried me, although that seems childish now.

1. 21] Then Jesus beholding him loved him, and said unto him, One thing thou lackest: go thy way, sell whatsoever thou hast, and give to the poor, and thou shalt have treasure in heaven: and come, take up the cross, and follow me.
   [22] And he was sad at that saying, and went away grieved: for he had great possessions.
   [23] And Jesus looked round about, and saith unto his disciples, How hardly shall they that have riches enter into the kingdom of God!
   [24] And the disciples were astonished at his words. But Jesus answereth again, and saith unto them, Children, how hard is it for them that trust in riches to enter into the kingdom of God!
   [25] It is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle, than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God.

Care to provide a list of how the uber wealthy are keeping you from amassing any money?  How about how the things you mentioned are keeping you from becoming more wealthy than you are now?

We'll wait.

My guess: the only thing keeping you from amassing more wealth is...wait for it...YOU.

That's usually the mentality of people who whine (my word, not yours) about subsidizing any business and loopholes...especially since a "loophole" is nothing more than an attempt to put an ugly face on allowing companies/people to keep more of their money  If I misunderstood your intent...my bad.
