      They aren’t even transferring it, that takes too much time, earning it, stealing it, lobbying congress for tax cuts and loopholes, etc.

      Much better to go into the Wall Street casino, and create new money out of thin air. Better yet, create a worthless coin, that doesn’t even exist, and tell your idiotic followers to buy it at a ridiculous price. Then make money on the increased value, as well as the exorbitant fees required to buy/sell it.

        That is a transfer of wealth. It means the old plutocrats (big banks, oil, military, etc) who aren’t in the know are forced to sell at the wrong time, while those in the know (tech bros and others who paid Trump millions for the privilege) will sell & buy at just the right time.

        That’s how wealth is transferred
