wealth inequality ?
No one is getting the 1% to pay for anything. Lets be clear about that.
Look at the % of taxes you pay from earning, to buying. If you pay an extra 15 % in various taxes, and get 8% in benefits ...........eh whatever.
I like how people treat the federal government like they are someones mom that just has your best interests at heart.
Federal government going to bring you a warm blanky and some soup?
They are going to tax and control you, until you can't open your asshole and take a shit without getting a permit first.
I also like how all these self noted "independent thinkers" Have the same ideas as every other Clinton/banks/big government zombie.
You are so smart, give yourself a hug.

I like how people think huge multi-national corporations like they have their best interest at heart...and I can go on with the reverse strawman but I'm not going to.
Talking about government like its a monolithic entity with an agenda of its own just advertises your own brainwashing. The government is not one person, one agency, one anything.
The countries with high GDP per capita and low wealth inequality don't use our system, "liberal market economy." They use systems like democratic socialist and corporatism. The jury is out, our system inflates the top one percent until were in the streets like those BLM people. Our entire system is predicated on keeping labor cheap. We aren't -- and never were -- a free market. We don't subject the elites in this country to "market discipline," only the rest of us.
The government is a tool that people in lower classes need to learn to use. Rather than adopting your defeatist attitude. News flash -- there's more of us than them. I'm not suggesting the 1% pay us, I'm suggesting we never let them get as much to begin with moving forward.
