The wealthy are able to borrow money at less, and invest money at more, than the rest of us. It's been like that as long as money was available to borrow and invest.

The wealthy used to understand that in order to not get their heads cut off, they needed to throw out a few crumbs, and they needed to stay out of certain areas of American life. Some things - like middle class homeownership - were too important to try to squeeze.

But now the third and fourth and fifth generations of wealth are here, they haven't worked a day in their life, they don't understand the social contract the rich have with everyone else, and they just want to do whatever they can to add another zero or two to their wealth.

Only way I see this stopping is... well... cutting off some heads again.

You know this mighty french revolution of you.

Firm believer in the horseshoe theory. It’s funny when you see things on tiger droppings that would make for a good post on /r/stupidpol

In minds such as yours, anyone who is more successful than you has never worked a day in their life and is simply drawing from a trust fund and laughing at your misfortunes. You are such a victim, you just have to believe in your manufactured boogeymen hard enough and rock that "tax the rich" t-shirt long enough, and things will ultimately change for you, I'm sure of it.
