When 1% of the population owns more wealth than the bottom 90%, it’s an imbalance that nature will not support. One way or the other - either peacefully or painfully - society will re-establish equilibrium. We can wisely choose a greater balance or it will be chosen for us.

Great social philosophy.

Society has never been in equilibrium, the Roman empire shows this

Sounds you have communistic ideas and what you are really saying everyone should be poor and sounds that you are jealous of the wealthy even though you are probably well off so let’s start by you sharing your wealth with the less fortunate

Mabey when we find out we can’t eat money

Read and you will find that the imbalance has been equal or worse throughout history - until the introduction of capitalism.

Well said I agree totally 💯 and it's already been chosen according to the Bible. Amen

Just two questions for those bleeding hearts standing guard to defend the 1%, pro bono no less. 1. Do you understand the difference between income and wealth? 2. Do you understand that balanced is not the same as equal is not the same as fair?

In the end, it’s what type of economic or personal philosophy you believe in. If you accept capitalism as it operates in the US then you help create an inequality that is necessary for that to continue.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I wish that were true, but it’s not, which is why I’m a socialist. If equilibrium were natural, I could just sit on my hands
