1. I learned a new word today...plutocide.

3. Yeah. Like there is too much money chasing too few

opportunities as it stands. That's why there are stock buybacks. That money to the wealthy goes to rich people who put it into private equity or hedge funds. They in turn go into industries, try and create monopoly power and raise prices for that industry. Look at real estate or rental units. It used to be that market was about the tenants and renters needs. Now rent is so high people take much longer to get a down payment on their first house together, if they can even afford it. So the market is gummed up and overpriced. Look at the gouging in pharmaceuticals. And on and on. If all giving rich people more money is just going to result more warped sectors of the economy why would you be pushing for tax cuts for the rich or getting rid of income tax (Trump has mused about that and that is what is behind increasing tariffs policy of the White House). I mean the education system used to give a good education and pay middle class salaries. Now charter schools are ****, the jobs pay **** but the rich profit on it and can indoctrinate the next generation. What industry is to be warped next so that it no longer purrs along creating middle class?
