    Really, you think the 1% is just uniquely bad? You don’t think there might be a systemic problem?

      The 1% at the top have chosen to maintain the current system for generations. They also have chosen to strangle any attempts to change the system whenever possible via immense violence.

        Ok, but do you really think the next one percent down is much different?

          I really don’t think you understand the scale of the ultra wealthy - the top 1% own almost half of the world’s wealth. Yes, the next 1% are much different, as they don’t own almost half of the entire world’s money.

          Do you think the kind of circumstances that would lead to the 1% being ended would be conducive to another slotting itself in without problem?
