I agree what makes the top 20% think they are entitled to double the wealth of the bottom 80%? The bottom 60% make $1 of income for every $99 of what the top 1% make. Thats an incredible amount of inequality that causes power to be concentrated in the hands of 737 billionaires and 22 million millionaires. That thry only got due to absurdly low tax rates and exclusions on wealth income as taxable income.

The GenZ kids think they are entitled to something because they are living out of their cars instead of apartments or houses. Those with college degrees are living with their parents and debt coming out of their asses.

Gen Z realizes that Corporate interests and the Billionaire class, have had no loyalty to the generations before them and therefore understand the same will have no loyalty to them. They choose not to be subservient to those corporations and billionaires. And in fact, choose to push back against them.

It is about an elevated level of humanity... one where we act like the beings that we were created to be, rather than the animals of limited intelligence that continue to act on instinct and self preservation. We have the ability to rise above selfish desires and instinct, to serve the interest of the common good of mankind... that would be considered 'grown up'.

This elevated level requires selflessness and sacrifice by all. 'Give' would be more applicable than 'take'.

I think a billionaire has more power than a poor worker.

The word "fascist" is becoming meaningless. In "The Tyranny of Words" Stuart Chase did a word-experiment where he asked 100 people in a range of professions to define "fascist". The answers were all over the place, but mainly referred to right wing activities and activities.

Today, Don Jr. calls Biden a fascist MTG calls Zelenski a fascist. It's becoming a meaningless word that people throw at their enemies.

And this abuse of language allows Trump's "neo-fascism" (same old poison in new clothes) to ascend to power under the flag-waving banner of "America First."

In 1935 Sinclair Lewis wrote “when fascism comes to America, it will be wrapped in the flag and carrying the cross.”

I wonder what would be 2023's responses to Stuart Chase's 1938 word-experiment (What does "fascism" mean to you?)

Lonny what do you mean by "woke"? We cannot have moral clarity unless we also have mental clarity.
