Watch: Bill Maher Smacks Down the Spoiled & Entitled 'Persecuted' rich



This week’s ending New Rules excoriating the entitled rich needed very little context. It was very complete. I simply added corroborating references to his statements. That said, I will add one small thing. If capitalism survives it will be because multi-billionaires like Bill Gates, Warren Buffet, and other signatories to The Giving Pledge give back most of their fortunes to society. Mathematically wealth accumulation by the wealthy is unsustainable given that their rate of accumulation is greater than the growth of the economy, national and internationally.
