In reply to the discussion: The central reason for why many of the wealthiest Americans don't care about inequality [View all]closeupready
(29,503 posts)4. What they - in large part - don't want to face is this:
that there has never been a society in human history that has endured with the level of income and wealth inequality which is happening now in the US, and getting worse.
If it doesn't improve for the majority, it will eventually collapse either from within or without, to be replaced with a society perhaps without a currency of US dollars?
But how long have warnings been issued by their peers? Decades, and nothing has changed; they are hoping that they and their corrupt ways will somehow win out over human nature. They will not.
Who am I, nobody, but this is simply my opinion, worth what you paid for it.
