> The greedy behavior that leads to the kind of inequality faced by today's society is now so well established that it has become hard to recognize for what it truly is.

I know you think you’re arguing against me, but what you described supports my position.

Agreed.

It doesn't matter if it is hard to recognize, if you are unable to understand something then you are by definition incompetent with respect to the task or idea.

It isn't incompetence, it's complacent acceptance of a toxic norm for personal gain.

Fine, incompetence is the wrong word, but malice isn't the right word.

I think that if you look at the history of the trend, and the politics behind it. The decreases in top marginal tax rate, decreases in corporate tax rates. It starts to really _feel_ malicious. Although you're probably right, I don't think that all of the current c-suite occupants in the nation are acting out of malice.
