Seriously guys, we have *got* to start regulating Wall Street and investments more. And do something about wealth inequality. There is way, way too much money at the top and they're throwing it around recklessly. The next crash is going to make 2008 look like the.com boom.

That's what refusing to tax the rich gets you - a top heavy economy. Capitalism has already been empirically shown (by Thomas Picketty) to be a mechanism for concentrating money into the hands of a small percentage of the population. If we leave it unchecked, everyone else is impoverished no matter how skilled & qualified they are, how smart & entrepreneurial they are, or how hard they work. Why do you think the 'gig economy' & hyper-exploitative & abusive distributors (e.g. Amazon) & manufacturers (e.g. Tesla Motors) are springing up unchallenged? The hyper-rich can & are lobbying, bribing, & litigating their way to impunity.
People are happy to complain about government & politicians being corrupt but who's doing the corrupting? Where's all that corrupting money coming from?
That's nothing (Score:3)
