Interestingly enough, Steve Jobs was the best AND the absolute worst rich man in America.
On the one hand, he waived his CEO salary. He took a symbolic dollar for it. And of course CEO salaries are meaningless anyway.
On the other hand, he took PLENTY of shares, and went to the grave with about 7 billion over his head. And here's what he did with all that money:
Nothing.
The useless fucker barely invested outside of his own companies, only grew jobs within his own companies enough to account for growth, and didn't even buy shit for himself. No good clothing, no home improvements, barely any travel expenses. Zero charitable donations until people started taking note of the fact that he wasn't much of a philanthropist. I guess he paid a few bucks for that unlicensed Mercedes he always parked in the handicapped spot. Oh, and for the last laugh, he evaded THE SHIT out of the estate tax which is kind of fine because it's grisly to think of taxing the dead, but even so it was one final act of "Ha ha this seven billion dollars will never see distribution within the economy, ever."
Jobs is just one jerk, sure, but there are a lot more like him. Together they're hoarding about 25% of the nation's total currency and are totally ready to go fuck up Laketown if anyone dares to take so much as a cup from them. The economy's ruined DuckTales for me, because now I can picture and eccentric millionaire keeping all his cash locked up in one place just to use as a swimming pool and that's not fucking funny anymore.
So the next time you hear somebody say "The rich spend and it trickles down", punch that person in the face and say "THAT WAS THIRTY YEARS AGO, AND THIS IS THE iBILLIONAIRE GENERATION."
