The massive transfer of wealth into the hands of the 1% that has occurred in this country over the last 40 years has been a well-strategized policy of theft from the lower and middle classes in order to satisfy the greed of a very few.

They figured out that the American people were the best product to be bought & sold. Our time, our labor, our lives. Fundamental rights that are given to other citizens in more developed nations, are simply ways for American oligarchs to extract wealth from the people.

Now they are using that money to attack democracy itself. We are still not seeing any taxing of the billionaires, no regulations on social media, no enforcement of the anti trust laws, no enforcement of deadly deceptive medical marketing laws.

So not true! Divisive, hateful class warfare! Most people have moved up or have the opportunity to move in the past 40 years!

Every time a policy is proposed to put resources in the hands of the people conservatives complain about "wealth transfer" but we already have wealth transfer going the other way.

True, but I also sense that it was inspired (at least in part) by the "control-freakism" and warped sense of personal superiority of that class.

The Fed's efforts to stabilize the economy since 2008, transferring trillions & trillions into the market, which enabled major corporation's massive stock buy backs & thereby 'artificially' raise the value of their stock. It is the source of CEOs staggering increase in wealth.

And some, not all, lower and middle class people believe in the spin of "Freedom, I care for you, I will take care of you, vote for me" There are some wealthy Ethical People, unfortunately, there are many others who want everybody to pay them homage.
