A quotation from Stevenson, Robert Louis

It is a mere illusion that, above a certain income, the personal desires will be satisfied and leave a wider margin for the generous impulse.

A quotation from Ingersoll, Robert Green

It is an insanity to get more than you want. Imagine a man in this city, an intelligent man, say with two or three millions of coats, eight or ten millions of hats, vast warehouses full of shoes, billions of neckties, and imagine that man getting up at four o’clock in the morning, in the rain and snow and sleet, working like a dog all day to get another necktie! Is not that exactly what the man of twenty or thirty millions, or of five millions, does to-day? Wearing his life out that somebody may say, “How rich he is!”

Robert Green Ingersoll (1833-1899) American lawyer, agnostic, orator
Speech (1886-11-14), “A Lay Sermon,” American Secular Union annual congress, Chickering Hall, New York City

"With full respect for tax sovereignty, we will seek to engage cooperatively to ensure that ultra-high-net-worth individuals are effectively taxed. Cooperation may include exchanging best practices, fostering debates on tax principles, and developing anti-avoidance mechanisms, such as addressing potentially harmful tax practices. We look forward to continuing discussions on these issues within the G20 and other relevant forums, drawing on the technical contributions of international organizations, universities, and experts," says the document, whose final content was approved by consensus.

The real rulers are the Elon Musks and #Trump is just on stage for the smear theater. Unfortunately, the leftists who want to redistribute #wealth no longer exist in American politics. The right has stepped into this gap and taken over the problems of poor people for their politics. How can the US be a #democracy if you have to be a millionaire to become #president or need the favor of millionaires to make it?

It is a bad thing for a nation to raise and to admire a false standard of success; and there can be no falser standard than that set by the deification of material well-being in and for itself.

Looking at current western foreign policy writings, it's clear from their atiitude that the west is in full blown world-domination mode, openly talking about subjecting each and every country to its domination - and that with the same spirit of condescension that accompanied western missionaries to China in the 19th century resulting, in the Boxer Uprising and the wholesale slaughter of christian missionaries by the 13th Dalai Llama.
Then, as now, the west was trying to pry Tibet away from China, as part of its global balkanisation.

The modern versions of the Shanghai International Settlement are the special economic zones, followed by, as happened in China, the west claiming parts of such countries as spheres of influence.. there are even such plans for parts of Europe (trans-border economic zones). See also the ECSC

It's as if the 70 years between the 1919 war of intervention in Russia and Yeltsin;s coup was just an interruption - the imperial games can continue, this time as a cartel led by the USA and includes that mostrosity, the "personal union" of the House Of Windsor consisting of the second largest country in the world, a whole continent and lots of crown territories (Cyprus, Gibraltar .. the list is long). (the crown owns the sea bed around the British Isles).. and the broken EU - the UK's ambition of a manageable continent completed - Balance of Power.

And there's still Africa..
