Why can’t we just take the money away from these people?
because a lot of powerful people have convinced tens of millions of dumb poor idiots that they'll be rich one day (they wont) and if we hold rich people accountable today, then that same accountability will be used against those dumb poor idiots when they become rich (which they wont ever be), so they fight to protect the rich in the blind dumb fantasy that they'll be there, exploiting other poors one day.
This is so very the answer.
It’s so interesting to see a friend barely making ends meet but thinking they’re a few wins away from being “self-made”.
I don’t think they’re ‘dumb idiots’, but definitely wilfully ignorant, and it’s very sad.
