OK, I am convinced

First of all, check out this xkcd if you haven't already.

The first thing that struck me was the sheer amount of time he's put into this thing! That is the most extensive Angry Letter I have ever seen. My interpretation of it is that it is an argument for the Occupy Wallstreet movement. And he's made a very good point. Unfortunately I'm not so sure the people on that top 10 list would give up their riches in the first place.

My brain lost the concept of scale after the thousands chart. After that it just gets ridiculous. After some contemplation I am now a communist. Market economy has got to be the most stupid invention in the history of mankind. We need to revert to plan economy, preferably yesterday, or we'll all end up like Greece.
