So you didn't read the books but know capitalism so well? As has been told to you for 83 pages now, you understand nothing, and refuse to learn either. Are you familiar with the concept of income mobility? The 1% changes every year:
It does not seem to register with you when I tell you I
read any books, right or left tongue-in-cheek until I have verified the veracity of the author. But, of course, I don't have to read every opinion out there to come to a conclusion. That is what the experts do. There are experts on both sides of economic issues but some have a track record of being more accurate than others and with less bias. BTW there is nothing YOU have said or posted is new to me.
The history of capitalism is taught in grade school and one of the first things kids learned when I was a grade schooler was about the workplace before liberals reformed it. The 1% doesn't change much every year and a lot of that change is due to old age and death. The some one inherits it who didn't earn it or, more likely, steal it… thereby keeping it in the family so to speak.
If you are so concerned about income inequality, how about getting a job and stopping contributing to it? Oh, and how about telling the government not to take almost half your income?
I've retired twice. And my income is pretty damn good. If you are worried about the government taking too much of your income, move to a state that doesn't have an income tax or has a low one. That will ease your burden somewhat.
