It blows my mind just how many people support this through their rabid worship of billionaires. Not because they love the billionaires themselves, but that they think in some fevered future they too will be billionaires. Well, guess what? It’s never, ever, ever, ever going to happen and every day that passes the now-billionaires are tirelessly working to consolidate money and power to prevent proles from getting foothold. Stop being morons, and stop working against your own interests unless you’re a masochist then go nuts I guess. Leave the rest of us out of it
I saw a quote that I found 100% applicable and will never forget: “Europeans vote as if they will one day be homeless. Americans vote as if they will one day be billionaires.”
US really needs a reality check on which one is more likely.
We believe it’s more possible to claw yourself up to the top in this country purely on the basis of dated propaganda. More Americans believe the “American dream” is possible here because look at the name of it, when the reality is social mobility by every measurable metric is worse here than many other countries.
