Those 50 under-paid and exploited people own just ~3% of all the wealth in the room, even though they're doing about 30% of the work. Where does the vast, vast majority of the value of their work go? It goes to the asset class - the top 1 or 2 people. And you call the top guy generous because he pays ~40% tax on the money the bottom 90% made for him. Even as he buys politicians, runs monopolies, subsidizes fossil fuel, and strip mines the planet for even more. Don't make out like the 50% of people making 2 or 3% of income are just ungrateful, or bad at math. The insane level of inequality in America is literally an existential threat to humanity. |
