Arguments about the "realness" of the wealth aside, most of the envy in the original thread is from (IMO) a zero-sum mentality, in other words the stock wealth is at the expense of the rest of us, like there's only so much pie and these guys are taking my piece too. I always find that idea amusing and wrong.

Thats completely false, neither stock, nor economies as a whole, are a zero sum game. Nor is it true that you can only make wealth off of stocks by taking wealth from others.

@freemo Yep, but unfortunately a widely held belief, sometimes only implicitly held, but held nonetheless.

Yup.. people seem to care more about having opinions (bad ones) as to how to solve problem than they care to actually understand problems.

I dont mind people being wrong, but the level of confidence with which people are wrong without exploring the topic in an educated way that bothers me the most.
