Wealth inequality will destroy America.
(lemmy.nz)
This cartoon from The Seattle Times illustrates how America's economic pizza is actually sliced per capita, highlighting the massive disparity between the Top 1%, the merely wealthy, the upper middle class, and the lower 50%.
The people with crumbs STILL doing nothing despite having nothing to lose will allow America to be destroyed.
~~will allow~~ have allowed
That's right, and none of the blame goes to the people who decide where the money goes and how it is spent.
You’ve spent half a century watching these people and knowing exactly what they will do. Sure, I guess if it makes you feel better, you can “blame them” the same way I’d blame a bunch of 12-year-olds playing with fireworks in a warehouse full of gasoline. But at a certain point, the people who knew exactly what was going to happen and kept allowing them to obtain matches are the ones who need to be held responsible and deserve whatever they get if not.
Can we identify those people? If not, there is no point in talking about holding them responsible. You risk burning energy with no result.
Hey look, I found one of those people!
Here's looking at you, kid.
