We have a “poverty trap” and it’s driving the destruction of social cohesion.
The “poverty line” is’t 35,000, it’s $150,000, and making more than one, and less than the other is worse than being “poor”.
Which is why the rage.

I read parts of Marx’s Communist Manifesto & Das Kapital for a class in college. It’s amazing how much he was right about.

This is a good description of the GOP:
The modern conservative is engaged in one of man's oldest, best financed, most applauded and, on the whole, least successful exercises in moral philosophy. That is the search for a truly superior moral justification for selfishness.

So just as a summary the racists who want all Brown and Black people dead are fighting the racists who want all Brown and Black people to work themselves into an early grave so they can profit?
