Why is it that there are only 2% Jews in the USA and only 14-16 million total in the world, yet Jews control many things such as banks, government, hollywood, media, politics, corporates, etc. ??

I mean it's something they should be proud of

Uh; not all Jews are smart and rich. The ones that are believe in education, working together, saving their money and so on.

20% of Nobel Prize winners have been Jewish, while only .2% of world population is Jewish. In other words, 1 in 5 Nobel laureates are Jewish, while only 1 in 500 people are Jewish.

Interestingly the numbers for Muslims are the other way around. According to Pew there are 1.6 billion Muslims, or about 23% of world population. There have been 10 Muslim Nobel prize winners (ironically mostly for the Peace prize, including Yassar Arafat), or roughly 1.25% of Nobel Laureates.

My dad's side family are Jewish and they all have been very successful, I mean SUCCESSFUL. I'm not sure how it happened. I guess they were taught to be motivated with anything. My dad has a Jewish mindset on certain things such as business.

I don't know any poor Jewish people.

There are reports that Jews have higher IQs, which makes them especially adapted to succeed in post-industrial societies. Whatever, I don't care. I just care about their obsession with Zionism and defending the colonial enterprise known as Israel.

They're usually pretty smart and have high expectations for their kids, sometimes they end up a bit neurotic and they're also known to be on the frugal side.

A lot of them make it as comedians -- they can see irony in things so they're usually funny.

I googled your question and found this very enlightening book review on Capitalism and the Jews.

Because it's ingrained in their culture to spend time with the kids, help them with their home work, be frugal with money, etc.
