Yes, rich people always want to be richer and richer. This is unfortunate; no one knows how to stop this, without taking away constructive motivation. What fraction of Bill Gates' fortune is consumed and what fraction is productively invested? My guess is that the first fraction is much less than 10%, and that he is not a rare exception.
What does Professor Furr have to offer us? Consider a complex machine which works but not perfectly. Anyone can destroy it; no advanced knowledge is usually needed to accomplish this. But one has to be highly knowledgeable in order to repair it, or to design a better replacement. I am thinking about sophisticated engines, airplanes, TV sets, X ray scanners, computers, airconditioners, oil refineries, etc.
The same is true for an economic system. No system is perfect; but some are more efficient than others. Trying to destroy US capitalism without offering something better is likely to create a lot of misery. I am thinking about what Lenin and Stalin did, as decribed in my two short books. These books are now freely available online; the links are at:

Note that even now, one hundred years after the Soviet revolution, standards of living in Russia are much lower than in the US, and in other western countries.

Ludwik Kowalski это цепной пёс большого капитала, причём не очень умный. Он перевирает факты и потом пытается доказать что они неверные.
Старый гнусный приём который широко используют наши "копиталисты".
А он профессор чего? кислых щей...?
Просмотрел Viki, а, ну так он дипломированный анти-коммунист, есть такая специальность...
