...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. Do the Super-rich want an America that resembles France before Bastille Day? Cause the French Aristocracy back then didnt see it coming either. ...because we cant hope that corporations and the super rich will do the right thing eventually. That doesnt work.
