This article oversimplifies things...and then comes to some bold conclusions. It helps to look at different perspectives, rather than looking at everything through an ideological lens. I guess thats the age we live in, unfortunately.

What is the ideological lens that characterizes our society? Greed.

The individual owes nothing to society: no limit to what I can own. Society owes nothing to me: my share of the wealth is my own fault. Might makes right. A deal is fair regardless of the terms: a deal is a deal. Workers don’t deserve a vote: they agreed to their servitude.
