A lot of success-striving people are pretty grossed out by absurd levels of wealth inequality as well. Sure, some folks are going to be fantastically wealthy, that's OK to a large extent. But, we're on the precipice of trillionaire's existing in a country where literally half of the population is functionally illiterate (yes, that's the USA), where the middle class is dissolving, and where we are approaching a feudal level wealth inequality-- and all this stuff is accelerating. I mean, I guess it's not that bad. We still have a democracy. It's not like we have billionaires re-arranging political power and public resources for their pleasure and benefit. Oh wait, we do! | ||
