Mayweather Sets Fire to Capitalism

An American fighter (Floyd Mayweather) caused trouble by burning up a 100 dollar note in Atlanta (USA). Compared to the "occupy" movement this act has more direct clout against capitalism than any one of his right crosses or left hooks.
In America, as in most countries destroying money bu burning or any other means is illegal and gets a jail sentence.
When someone burns money there is usually an outcry along the lines that "that money could help the poor, what sort of a-hole could do such a thing".
But look at the life of a $100 dollar bill. It is like a virus. It multiplies itself every time it is exchanged (mainly through taxation and accumulative interest). The new viru$es are used by those in power ( corporations and governments ) to aggrandize themselves and their strategies to "create" wealth.
Eventually the bill finds itself in a bank vault as gold, or something else valuable, in the account of a multi-miilionaire or billionaire. From there it never gets out.
The $100 dollar bill that Mayweather burnt can no longer multiply like a virus. It will never find its way into the bank account of a corporate criminal or government slush fund for the capitalist (1) way.
No wonder that Mayweather found himself "surrounded" by Federal Police.
True, no one need ever know if you do what the world champion fighter did. But it is an act that most could not bring themselves to do. Basically because of its threat to personal survival.
(1) Capitalism = getting as many people into the most debt for as long as possible (now used against countries)
