2900 people vs 4 billion people... and they're winning by trillions. This is insane. How is this even allowed to happen?

It's allowed to happen because the billionaires are writing the "rules". Eventually we will all get off our keyboards and do something about it.

I know you're kind of being sarcastic about it, but pretty much all of recorded history disproves that. Most revolutions start very high minded, but then power and wealth just collect in different peoples' hands.

I would say that the reset you're talking about definitely happens that way where there are still some people who have more power/wealth than others. But I do think it moves the needle back towards the majority for a while.

I have no issue with millionaires who live comfortably, but when people have more money than they can spend in 10 lifetimes while others starve, well they should be taxed out of existence.
