"But the problem isn’t that we have inequality. Some inequality is
intrinsic to any high-functioning capitalist economy. The problem is
that inequality is at historically high levels and getting worse every
day. Our country is rapidly becoming less a capitalist society and more
a feudal society. Unless our policies change dramatically, the middle
class will disappear, and we will be back to late 18th-century France.
Before the revolution."

Another excellent article on inequality that is going around at the
moment (thanks to everyone else who already shared it!)

Share and enjoy,
