Capitalism right here. You, the middle class must begrateful you have a job. We the rich, will pay you less and less year after yearto allow us to make bigger profits and share the wealth amongst ourselves. Wewill in time destroy the middle class but we don't realize it yet, well we do, but we don't care becausewe are super rich. Revolutions occurred for much less. If this goes on therewill be a revolution.

资本主义就是这样。你，中产阶级，一定要感激你拥有一份工作。我们富人，会 年复一年地向你支付更少的钱，以使我们赚到更多的利润，在我们富人之间分享 财富。我们将最终摧毁中产阶级，但我们还没有意识到。不对，我们意识到了， 但我们并不关心，因为我们是超级富豪。
格命发生的次数太少了。如果这种情况继续下去会有一场格命。

And we are creating those Ch/inese billionaires and fundingtheir economic and military growth all to save a few bucks at Walmart. It isinsanity and our grandkids might end up paying for this stupidity with theirlives.

我们正在创造这些中国亿万富翁并为其经济和军事增长提供资金，只不过是为了 在沃尔玛节省一些钱。这太没理智了，我们的子孙可能最终要为这种愚蠢付出生 命的代价。

Inequality where most economic gains to the top 0.001%should worry everyone. It's a serious problem. Apple who make 23bn in sales inthe UK and 8bn pay no tax. Who benefits? The shareholders and executives。

大多数经济收益跑到了最顶层的 0.001％的人手里，这种不平等应该让每个人都感到担忧。这是一个严重的问题。苹果公司在英国的销售额达到 230 亿美元，而80 亿美元却不缴税。谁受益？股东和高管。
