This isn’t an accident; it’s how the system works now. Ever-expanding inequality an inherent design flaw & only fundamental change will fix it. SCOTUS Justice Brandeis said we can have large amounts of $ concentrated in hands of a few or we can have democracy; we can’t have both.

Go live in a democracy, I will stay in a Constitutional Republic.

We’re both. It’s like saying we have a roof but we also have windows.

We need a separation of corporation and state. Pass it on.

And the corporatist media is completely silent. They focus on the riots, with damages in the millions, instead of the trillions in bailouts to wealthy shareholders.

I am no billionaire far from it however I have made some money during this cluster screw. I have bought several under valued stocks when the market crashed only wish I had more to invest. The rich make more money in times of economic instability because they have money 2 invest.

We can start correcting our massive income inequalities by having corporations and the wealthy pay their fair share of taxes just like the rest of us, without all their special subsidies, tax breaks, & exemptions that the rest of us don't have.
