Grotesquely wealthy people in America in current year are smoke and mirrors. What's going on is we started measuring their stock value and gains as their wealth and income so we could get ignorant people on board with stealing it, or a good portion of it.
That they're allowed and encouraged to take loans against said illusion for liquidity is the real monster.
