    Despite what the GOP would have you believe, The US and EU have actually achieved post-scarcity, China is close. You should be fighting for post-inequality because that is what is holding back the rest of the world, as well as millions of citizens of the US and EU.

      Yes, we’re just passing a bunch of money around at the top.

      It’s why I almost never take Americans seriously when they say they ‘need’ more money. They don’t know what that word means, or what hard work really is.

        Oh really? Americans don’t ever need more money? How about these Americans? They’re doing fine on whatever they can panhandle from people leaving the Walmart parking lot and dumpster food?

        Oh… and some of those people? Full-time employed.

          Looks like they’re living in a major city.

          Supply and demand.

          They can leave and their money will go way further. The problem is, a lot of people living in major cities feel they’re entitled to do so.
