Today’s Class War Is the 1 Percent Versus the People Just Below Them

I've always drawn the dividing line between people who have to work and people who choose to work. The latter can spend every waking moment of their lives ensuring that the former never, ever become one of them. And it sure looks they are succeeding. If the survival of mankind hinges on rich people willingly giving up ANY of their wealth at all, then mankind will perish. To a rich person, giving up wealth is no different than someone suggesting to you that they need to cut your nose, ears and limbs off to save humanity. You'd say no to that as well. In fact, you'd do anything to avoid this scenario. And while you're slaving away for a minimum wage that should be $25, and quibble over trans rights, the rich laugh into their fists, watching as you still don't seem to have realised that the bargaining power would be in your hands if you could just unite for a fucking second.
