plutonomy example:
Appaloosa hedge fund a company of 23 people. according to forbes the manager (one dude) made 2.2 billion (2,200,000,000$) in 2012 not sure about the total profits. however it doesnt really matter.

what did their company actually contribute to others with the money they made off of USA? nothing they are just growing their money and sharing it among the close nit people then reinvesting to get more and horde more. basically buying and selling stocks/currencies and commodities.
(the above is the rich people on era not providing any service to others and ganging together for their greater gain eventually manipulating the economy only dealing in rares and OP weps and items)

apple in 2012 had a net profit of around 8.2 billion (the whole company). at the same time what did apple do for usa? in 2012 they reported over 600 000 jobs and they created all those products that help the lower income people. they provide services and products.
(above is players who act as human pawn shops selling and buying guns of all levels to benefit the new players to grow faster)

yet 99% dont even know what a hedge fund is and they are the richest people in the world and have no real impact on us other then inflation really. (banks also do this)

if the best guns are the rares and you can only get a certain amount + needs boat loads of money. if those people gang up how in the world is anyone supposed to compete and break that poor barrier?
