I'd imagine it being more helpful to look at military spending and amounts of money big companies are hoarding (looking at you Apple) to see where the real issues lie.
As long as people are ok with their money going into a mystery box they have no control over, holding no one accountable, how can we have anything BUT inequality?
As long as companies are free to play tax games and suck money out of the economy and then hang on to it for as long as they feel like it - how can we have anything BUT a screwed up volatile economy?
People talk about redistributing money as if there's a million rich people wiping their butts with 100$ bills and if only we could teleport that money outta their toilets, into the hands of those in need, we'd solve something.
Real solutions to real problems come with infrastructure, accountability, transparency.
They start in the mind, then go out into the real world. As long as in your mind it's republican vs democrat, rich vs poor or some other childish false dichotomy, we'll be right where we are, heading for serious social unrest.
