Until white people put class consciousness over racial grievances a revolution against the wealthy elite will never happen.

This is really scary... Bear with me...
I didn't realize how this can impact the future of a nation. When I was in college in the early '90s, I ended up with a foreign student as a lab partner. He was Palestinian. Towards the end of the semester when we were more friendly, I jokingly asked him "why are there so many terrorists in Palestine?". His answer forever changed my way of thinking...
He told me that most of his friends didn't make it out of Palestine. He said they had no hope for the future. You couldn't find a job, couldn't start a business, couldn't have a family, couldn't safely raise kids. He said they're hope had been taken away. He pointed out that without any hope of a future, all you want to do is take down the ones that are putting you in that position. Once you have no hope, life doesn't matter and you have no worries about dying, since life or death are the same.
So when I hear about hope being taken away, it terrifies me after the future of our country. I don't think it is right that a guy who is working 10 or 12 hours a day can't put food on the table, have a house to live in, and think about a retirement at 60 or 65 or even 70.
This is what they're doing to the people. The ultra will be are removing any hope of a future for our kids and their kids.
Something's got to change.

and yet, many in that bottom 50% will vote Republican...the very definition of voting against your self-interest
while the top 10% vote Republican for their own self-interest - tax cuts specifically for them, pro-corporations, anti-regulatory

I wonder how many people the top % employs are on government benefits. How much we pay on that + their government subsidies is probably way more than what poor people cost us in tax dollars. Sick of billionaire welfare.

France has a logical idea to counteract the advantages that billionaires buy themselves:
“with the effective tax rate for … billionaires lower than those for most other taxpayers, action must be taken to ensure the wealthiest are paying their fair share.” New rock-star economist Gabriel Zucman’s wealth tax transfixes France

CEO pay is up 1,094% since 1978, while worker pay is up just 26%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?

None of this is really that new big dawg.
The system is serving the people who designed it. The only way to fight back is to unionize workplaces and engage in mutual aid.
When youre behind on your rent. Who bails you out? Not washington. Your friends and family or a local rent bank.
If you're looking for a job, who will hook you up? Not washington. A non profit agency or people who put on workshops at the library to help you polish your interview techniques.
Who stands up for you if you lose your job unfairly? Not washington, not the company that hired you, the union you paid dues to.
Who helps prevent your landlord from illegally raising rent? Not the government, tenant unions.
Who helped our ancestors escape to the north or leave america for Canada? Not the government.
Theres even a narrative spreading that shows with historical evidence how we fought for our freedom. They purposefully downplay this to exaggerate the level of power and control that white people had over our ancestors. In reality people were willing to, and did kill if they had to in order to be free.
Its always been down to the people to protect themselves and their communities. You will drive yourself insane consuming all this news telling you what they're getting away with, how, and with no plan of action aside from "vote for someone and hope that the election isn't rigged and they deliver on their promises".
