Now now let's not pretend that the cup never overflows, it absolutely does. It overflows directly into OTHER disgustingly wealthy individuals pockets too.
Johnny billionaires might not buy enough for that to spill over to us schmucks, but they buy enormously expensive real estate and furniture, accessories, planes, etc.... they keep that money circulating amongst themselves and their ilk.
And their lawyers and politicians who benefit greatly of their masters success.
Don't forget that the source of the wine filling it up is everybody else who pays for things, including the glasses at the bottom.
