Most of them at the top are known to be pure evil.

How so? Can you please elaborate?

I only glanced over the beginning a bit, but so far it reads a sociopath's bible.

It sounds harsh but most of it is true, especially this

Only winners, the strongest, fittest, survive and write history and the rules, and the modify them to to please them as they go

I'm not strictly against socialism, healthcare imo should be socialized

There are options other than capitalism and socialism, you know. Also, socialized healthcare is not socialism. That's just bending the meaning of the words socialism and socialize. That's just equivocation.

Man, it must've sucked to be a billionaire in the early 1900s (or any earlier).

The problem with the idea that the 'strong' will rise to the top, is the assumption that everyone starts on the same level, or is even playing the same game. I've pretty much coasted through life because of the opportunity awarded to me by my parents. Now, I consider myself an intelligent, hard working person... but would I be where I am today without the opportunities provided by my parents? Maybe, maybe not.

It takes money to make money, and people who start the game with little or nothing are at a major disadvantage.

who the hell do the gates help with all that charity? it should show a difference in society but i bet its all just some elaborate self investment.
