    If you let all the wealth be collected by a few the system breaks down and all the money becomes worthless.

    This is not how wealth works

                Hoarding that fiat currency first causes inflation

                This is not a thing wealthy people do, nor does it cause inflation

                It’s BASIC ECONOMICS.

                There is a 0% chance you’ve taken macro econ yet

                    I don’t need to be at you in an argument for reality to be reality.

      An economy only works when a majority participates. An ideal economy has everyone participating.

      You can do a basic thought experiment to figure this out. Imagine 10 people control $100 trillion. Everyone else controls $0. What do you think you’ll be able to get for $1?

      You might then say, “money isn’t wealth.” True. But if 10 people control all the wealth and everyone else has starved to death that’s even worse.

        I’m sure you have lots of fanciful imaginings of how economies work
