    That’s the point.

    Expect things to continue to get worse as long as most people believe the disparity in wealth should continue to grow.

      It blows my mind just how many people support this through their rabid worship of billionaires. Not because they love the billionaires themselves, but that they think in some fevered future they too will be billionaires. Well, guess what? It’s never, ever, ever, ever going to happen and every day that passes the now-billionaires are tirelessly working to consolidate money and power to prevent proles from getting foothold. Stop being morons, and stop working against your own interests unless you’re a masochist then go nuts I guess. Leave the rest of us out of it

        I think a lot of them see it as a degree of “fairness.” That these people earned it (ignoring the facts that got them to where they are now) and they deserve to keep it. It’s more of a moral thing to them than any real worship, and there definitely is a touch of “don’t let that happen to me.” As if their wealth is at risk.
