God doesn't like people hoarding riches, more so if it comes down to 'stealing' his blessings for all. He approves of dividing property among people, so that every family becomes well to do middle class (the economic principle here is called 'distributism'. In the current situation in which automation and robotization is increasingly prevalent, ideas like universal basic income and distribution of work so that every person has an occupation, makes sense, because the income is generated by robots and the only real problem is that people need to feel useful. Concentration of over the top wealth by a few persons seems untenable because it seems to prevent an honest economic system that caters to all the people.

I forget where I heard it, but it was suggested that if all the wealth in the US were evenly distributed amongst its citizens every ten years, the wealthiest Americans would have all their money back by the end of the first year.

I hope she does it tho. $8200 is not a huge amount. It'll be spent and right back in the billionaires' pockets in six months.

Energy is wealth. The plot shows that GDP/capita is tightly correlated with power/capita.

Energy begets wealth via:

Energy -> Primary materials -> Manufactured goods -> Exports

To create wealth, maximize energy production and make it as cheap as possible.

Since energy is a public natural resource it's reasonable to regulate it. Ensure that the wealth gained from
it goes to the workers. Most countries fail in this regard.

Plot #2 shows the energy of primary materials.

It should be possible to create a setting where the wealthy will want to donate.

The average price of political office, in millions of dollars, is:

U.S. President 1200
U.S. Senate 25
U.S. House 2
State Governor 10
State Senate .2
State House .08

Money spent on campaign ads goes to media executives. Why not find a better destination for the money?

Herb Kohl is a Wisconsin businessman who donates heavily to the University of Wisconsin, and he was rewarded with a senate seat. He accepted no campaign contributions. "I'm nobody's senator but yours".

A measure of the quality of a wealthy person is the quality of the jobs he creates. Elon Musk creates good engineering jobs. The Waltons create low-end jobs.

As the wealthy flee cities, rural towns should aspire to attract them.
