How is any of this a government problem and not a social problem?

I think you are being extremely hyperbolic, but you be you!

I don't see it.

Besides, what are you going to do about this problem that you claim exists?

Stop the corporate money into congress.
Stop the congressman from trading stocks.

Stop the corporate money into congress.
Stop the congressman from trading stocks.

What are you, anti-capitalist?!

Stop the corporate money into congress.

That has nothing to do with the topic!

That has nothing to do with the topic!

It actually has everything to do with it.

It's created a "company store" environment.
9 corporations hold 80% of all stocks on the various exchanges. The top 1% holding 80% of those.

You work for the exact same people that own the bank, sell educations, food, medicine, vehicles, entertainment and housing. Because only 9 companies own 80% of all stocks traded.

If our government was actually doing their job this would stop. Instead all we get is play acting and oppositional politics with ZERO ideology.

Why is it EVERY President except Trump has had liberal and generous immigration policies? Because of the cheap labor it provides....not necessarily the votes themselves. All the American companies get cheaper labor as a result of massive immigration.
It also makes the cost of exports go down while still commanding top prices in foreign markets.

The problem exists now that labor is so cheap that young people can't afford to live and have children due to economic uncertainty.
We had double digit inflation but wages only grew in single digits. The top 1% and those who derive their income from equities all got "raises" that exceeded inflation....while those with traditional salaries all had to tighten their belts or gain new income streams.
