By working hard, & not crying they're not getting others people's hard earned money.

They are. It's called inheritance and surplus labour value.

You DO realize that less than 5% of the 1% is from an inheritance. The other 1%ers EARNED their money from the ground up. You could 2

Did they fuck. Most of the same families that had wealth hundreds of years ago still do. Money creates money, not work. It's a feedback loop. A glided age doesn't appear because the rich are suddenly working harder.

Yes because money grows on trees for these people.
"Rich" people invest in CO's. Companies grow. People get hired. And I guess it's "evil" if your grandfather did well.

It literally may as well do. Lucky enough to buy a few houses when they were dirt cheap thirty years ago? Congrats, you can rent them out and live off it for the rest of your life without doing anything productive.

Now? No chance. We are in a gilded age of inequality, and it's growing. Wealth buys influence, influence buys opportunity, and opportunity grows wealth. And repeat. The rich have bought politicians, and we are all paying the price.

it's simply fact that the less inequality a country has, the better *everyone* is. When a few have everything, and millions are left with stagnant wages because the rich stash money offshore instead of investing in new jobs or higher wages, everyone suffers.

We live in an oligarchy, where oligarchs make laws that benefit oligarchs and screw the rest of us.

Inflation and other dem party bullshit.

This started with Reagan, a republican
