I Heart Forbes

As y'all know, I love Forbes, renown for accuracy and fact-checking, something I wish I was good at.

The March 24 issue features THE RICHEST PEOPLE IN THE WORLD, and Bill Gates has fallen to position 3, behind Warren Buffett and Mexican Carlos Slim Helu. There are 1125 Billionaires extent today.

It is occurring to me that exceptional wealth cannot be kept in a free market. In the rare occasions someone does gain exceptional wealth, in a free market they would not have the means to keep it.

I'll have to develop this argument. In the meantime, check out Forbes!
