Turn left far enough and the brain apparently just shuts off completely.
Can you comprehend "wealth discrimination"?
99% of shareholders are parasites. They contribute nothing to what a corporation produces yet they are first in line when it comes time to be paid.
As a consequence they amass more and more wealth with each passing generation.
The Divine Right of Capital by Marjorie Kelly: A Summary
"At America’s founding, the right to vote was limited based on race, sex and wealth. As a society, we have recognized the harms of racism and sexism, but we have yet to truly address
wealthism.
Wealth bias is typically rolled into our notions of class, but class can be embedded in our family of origin, dress, schools, mode of dress and other factors.
"All these factors matter when it comes to social status, but political and economic power, where Kelly makes the case that it is more precise to focus on wealth rather than class.
"She tells the story of Thomas Dorr and the Dorr Rebellion of 1842, which focused on extending the right to vote to all white males, regardless of whether they owned property.
"Dorr was imprisoned for life, and still remains a relatively unknown name in history even though universal suffrage was extended to all non-property owning white males across the United States as a result of his efforts."
