From a 0.01% person: The problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is that inequality is at historically HIGH levels and getting WORSE every day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more a FEUDAL society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle class will DISAPPEAR, and we will be back to late 18th-century France. Before the REVOLUTION.... which will be INEVITABLE! And so I have a message for my fellow filthy rich, for all of us who live in our gated bubble worlds: WAKE UP PEOPLE! It WONT last. The most ironic thing about rising inequality is how completely UNNECESSARY and self-defeating it is. If we do something about it, if we adjust our policies ... so that we help the 99 percent and PREEMPT the revolutionaries and crazies, that will be the BEST thing possible for US rich folks, too. It’s not just that we’ll escape with our lives; it’s that we’ll most certainly get EVEN RICHER.
