It’s always easier to grasp the overwhelming with a visual:
The gap between the top 1% and everyone else hasn’t been this bad since the Roaring Twenties
Business Insider: “The rich are getting richer and the poor are getting poorer. Cliché, sure, but it’s also more true than at any time since the Gilded Age.”
And by creating that kind of gap, the wealthy can create the America that suits them. Equality goes out the window, the ability to buy candidates is exponentially facilitated, and democracy as we know it, or rather knew it, ceases to exist.
