Interesting that you mention the median income when the mean income is $17,000 more. The average income in the US is $48,000, but far more than half of America makes considerably less than that. Too much money is being hoarded at the top level, leading to these imbalances.pic.twitter.com/QF4lbWBKI8

I think maybe you might not have fully understood what I said. The mean, or average, is far above the median, or the middle point. If the median is $31,000, that means half of America makes less, and half makes more, but the mean is $17,000 over 150% of the median. This shows...

I don't view it as the redistribution of wealth. I view it as the restructuring of a society to put people over profits.

Not quite. Give them base level services without stupidly high fees therefore giving them more of their own money in their pocket.
