    Are you trying to suggest that this one family controls the wealth of Russia, China, Japan, India, South Korea, bla bla bla....

    Pull your head out. Yes they have a lot of money but they do not have any control over the Japanese or the Chinese etc...

    'Snowball' from 'Pinky and the Brain' once owned over half the world's wealth. The horror!

    What's your question about them? I ask because it seems if you just post a

    name without a question then you have already stated what you thought

    and only want us to know.

    Nonsense. That anti-Jewish myth is as old as the hills and as inaccurate as it is old. Have you been visiting some 'hate the Jews' sites recently? It sure sounds like it.

    The question was, what if? It wasn't an open invitation to flame me. What if?

    Then, I would hope that the Citizens living within the Democratic nations where such wealth would obviously be located would in turn vote to return 99% of that wealth back into the hands of the Citizens. This could be in the form of tax and other laws.
    I would hope that Citizens living in Democratic countries would never allow themselves to be under the yoke of a single monarchical ruling family. Simply go down to the voting booth and remove much of their wealth.

    Done.

    Ask the Rockefeller family about it. Rockefeller nearly monopolized oil, gas, railways and processing plants and this was completely legal BUT the Citizens didn't like it so they did something about it. People retain their wealth at the pleasure of the Citizenry not at our expense.

    Secondly, a family like that would NEVER have any significant amount of wealth in non-Democratic nations like China or even within semi-Democratic nations like Russia so it's never even going to happen.

    Thirdly, no single family even comes close to owning 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2 of 1/2% of the world's wealth.

    China actually has a few billionaires now.

    Yes but they are Chinese billionaires. We have a lot of billionaires. Bill Gates for example. The richest man in the World is Mexican. That's to be expected.

    But they certainly don't own 1/2 of the Worlds wealth!

    Don't they control the central banks which basically hold the notes on the world's wealth?

    Wrong again. I'm telling you - best to stay away from those websites you've been reading!

    They seem to explain what is going on better than anything else does. You tell me how banks can make money out of nothing at all and charge interest on it.

    There are also many of those sites which say the same thing. Not all is as it appears...

    Tonight on nightline they did a piece about Christiopher Reeves. It was a tender portrayal if there ever was one. Very little to no mention of the war, illegal immigration, the plummetting dollar, or plans to attack Iran soon. Now why do you suppose people check out 'those websites'?
