The six human beings who are heir to the Walmart fortune have as much wealth as the bottom 40% of all Americans combined. That’s six people on one side of the scale and approximately 125,600,000 on the other. And throw in the fact that the corporation that generates that obscene pile of money for six people is notorious for destroying small town economies, treating its workers like shit and expecting the rest of us to augment their paltry paychecks with food stamps and Medicaid. People should be angry about this, but largely, they’re not. Why? Well, one explanation is that Plutocracy, Inc. has successfully convinced enough people that they too will someday have Walmart-level megabucks to protect from redistribution to freeloaders because FREEDOM. I’m not so sure that’s true. I think if more people knew about this shit, more people would be pissed off.
