> we saw the greatest transfer of wealth in the history of the world take place between 2007-2010

We did? That might be something you believe, but I don't think it's something proven by evidence.




you did too - you just weren't paying attention: http://finance.yahoo.com/blogs/daily-ticker/2008-financial-c...


That link says nothing at all about any sort of transfer of wealth it just says a lot about a bunch of people getting poorer. It's pretty widely acknowledged that the financial crisis revealed that we were not as rich as we thought we were. That's not the same thing as a transfer of wealth.
