Ah yes, I too believe the lie that the wealthy got their wealth from being smarter and working harder than everyone else, and not because of vast amounts of luck combined with exploiting everyone underneath them.
You obviously don’t hang with many rich people. They are regular people. They aren’t special, they just hit the right circumstances. Most of the smartest people I know are actually not the richest, they are employed doing engineering or science related fields. Capitalism doesn’t reward intelligence, it rewards accumulation of capital which has much more to do with circumstance, investment, and manipulation.
Where “the economy” = “rich people’s yacht money,” yes.
If I was smarter and worked harder I could be rich too.
The truly rich are rich of soul. If you need help achieving enlightenment, I would be happy to help you and take some money off your hands.

Give me some money first and I’ll give you half of it back.
Making deals like that it’s no wonder you aren’t rich
Once they give me the money it’s all mine, but I’m not going to lead with that.

And exploitation.
Most of my friends are rich because I like to surround myself with people who are better then me.
You equate rich as better. You sound like quite the sycophant. Enjoy that.
Is that a type of elephant?
It’s sort of a troll / elephant hybrid god cumfarted out.
I missed that story in my bible.
Which version do you have?
It’s the made up version - not sure that narrows it down though.
I’ve got the version where Jesus tells rich people to give away all their belongings or they can’t get into heaven. Hope this helps.
Keep talking to yourself like that and you’ll find yourself at the barrel end of depression broke and alone.
