Excellent observation. They chose ignorance because so many people have been so economically oppressed in America for so long, and stripped of meaningful means of controlling their own life so that they now fetishize power, of any kind, to at least experience what they perceive as ‘power’… Which to the most simple mind, is nothing more than raw authority.

The only way forward is for momentum to build on anti-billionaire sentiment. Red, Blue, shades in between. Every American is directly impacted by the active, intentional, and systematic wage suppression and wealth consolidation that has been rampant for the last 40 years in America. A fraction of a percent have gained more than they could ever hope to spend, while over 99.9% of us can’t stop working, ever. Medical care cost will rise exponentially, denials from insurance will follow, and if you manage to avoid medical issues, they’ll just keep moving the goal posts on retirement age.

20 million in your 401k? Well now the retirement age is 75, so you’ll have to pay the penalty to withdraw before then, oh and you’re in the Medicare gap… And you’re old, so that will be 10k a month for health insurance
