Top 10% are useful idiots who get to live the “middle” class life.
Real money is all centralized with the people who actually own these mega corporations.

That would be somewhat OK if people could figure out to vote for taxing companies, high income and wealth.
And the redistribute so nobody goes hungry and has health care.
But as it is, wealth is accumulating more for the top 10% than ever.
All the advantages are given to the rich, the idea of leveling the playing field is passé.

Let’s say if you are near the top 10% then yes, that’s just about what middle class could be.
This didn’t happen over night. Boomers vote for this their entire lives.
Now they get to enjoy the welfare state whole the rest of us eat shit
The problem is lack of welfare, you make it sound like there is too much?
Top 0.1%
Its literally 8 people that own half the worlds wealth
Yes those are extreme, but basically it’s all above 10%, but you are absolutely right about the top 0.1%, it shouldn’t even be possible to be that rich.

Yup. Basically any kind of advancement in technology is instantly an attack on the working class because of our economic system.
