Poverty isn’t an accident. It’s a tool. The government and wealthy elites keep millions struggling to maintain control.

Also, our consumer economy is distorted due to high inequality. The top 10% are sending the demand signals for half of what our consumer economy sells. This causes the economy to overprice basic needs and focus on luxury goods and services. Basics rise in cost because the rich don't value shop.
