Weird that “the wealthy abuse the poor” is literally part of your complaint but you’re not focusing on them and instead the only group that could potentially rectify that without violent revolution.(please note: “could” is doing a lot of work in the previous sentence and I understand that many of those in government are there to ensure the right for the wealthy to continue this abuse).

Do you believe landlords would lower rents tomorrow if their tax was lower absent any other force incentivizing them to pass that profit back? I’m pretty sure there was a post on here a few days ago about how current rent pricing software used by many many people may be violating price fixing laws.

Do you think that without regulation banks would be better? That somehow the process of reigning in their avarice is causing it? When has that ever historically been true, as almost any era or un/deregulation coincides with massive wealth disparity.
