Why Not Rob The Rich?

[Cal Carpenter]

8. What happens when the uber-rich have stolen all wealth they can

off the backs of the working class through shrinking wages and benefits, tax cuts leading to cuts in vital public services, infrastructure, education, and so forth?

The uber-rich don't work for their wealth, they *steal* it. They make the rules of the workplace, they crush the bargaining workers, they effectively elect the leaders that codify and enforce those rules.

Your question is backwards, man.

What is happening now is not sustainable. Conditions for the majority of working people are getting worse while wealthier increase their holdings and power on a practically exponential scale.

Short-sighted? Yeah, the system we have now is pretty short-sighted. Wealth is accumulated based on a theory that assumes constant growth and 'progress'. Problem is, they are running out of resources, labor, and markets.

How much more can be stolen from people who have nothing? People who work their asses of and can't make ends meet while the super-rich play with their futures and bank off of dividends?

Backwards.
