I'm not done reading the above and at this time, now, I see an opportunity to convey a better angle of view.
First however I am inspired to repeat:
No more legal criminals
It is the stupid currency - stupid.
Look in the mirror when repeating things like the above - it may help.
The link above touches upon the Rich/Poor perspective.
How about dumping that whole way of thinking and begin thinking in terms of equity.
I do not mean 'equity' as in:
If I buy my home at a low price and sell my home at a high price, then, I gained 'equity' as time went by.
I mean equity as in:
If I can avoid gaining at someone elses expense during a purchase or trade, then, we (my trading partner) maintain 'equity' in commerce.
What is needed to maintain equity in commerce is something that has been called:
Perfect Information.
Next time you hear "Perfect Information" spoken (Ron Paul uses the term) think about it in context. You will be investing well if you do this small thing.
Think.

Think.
If everyone has perfect information, then, a choice to 'soak', 'steal', 'take', 'exploit', 'extort', 'fraud', 'enslave', and otherwise enforce inequity (transfer more for less) would be known by everyone including everyone choosing the short end of the stick.
In context with the link coining the term "Richistan" the Perfect Information required to maintain 'equity' includes all the people choosing to accept a low wage for labor just so the flow of wealth continues to flow away from workers toward people who get that wealth.
Now it isn't a far stretch to understand why a person would choose to maintain the flow of wealth from those who must work to create the wealth to the wealthy for doing nothing more than whatever choice must be made to continue that flow of wealth.
It isn't a fer stretch of the imagination, for example, to know how easy it is to choose between having to work hard to make other people rich or work hardly at all to make other people make yourself rich.
This is only confusing because it is extremely false.
How about making this even more simple:
If perfect information were available, then, everyone will have the same exact choice as follows:
A. Work to make other people rich
B. Not work at all and be rich
The reason why choice B even exists is due to imperfect information or, in other words, falsehood creates and maintains the flow of wealth from those who earn it to those who create falsehood.
Even the people who create falsehood so as to be rich at the expense of people who earn wealth work to make other people rich.
There are very few exceptions to choice A even when falsehood is over abundant.
I'll go back to reading the latest currency that comes from Paul Craig Roberts.
I think his currency is more true and less false than most.
