Top 1 % of world’s population holds as much wealth as bottom 50 %, and 3 people in USA have as much wealth as bottom 50% here. Anyone rich or poor who thinks this is sustainable is kidding themselves. Addressing wealth inequality the great moral & economic challenge of our times.

That is true and it’s nothing to ignore. But that still doesn’t keep us out of the danger zone morally, politically or economically.

USA is greastest country on Earth enabling those at bottom level to experience wealth according to world standards, ie; poor unskilled, flooding open borders. Your moral promulgation is valid though, in Socialist societies where the elite suppress the masses for their own gain.
