    During the great depression, there were people thinking about Communism and Socialism because Capitalism allows the wealthy to confiscate wealth. The Union movement grew then too. The people will reach a breaking point if they see how wealthy the top 1 percent are.

    The ability of Americans to move up is poor. https://www.forbes.com/sites/aparnam.../#53bb30ae6a7b America does poorly in the world for upwards mobility. That is another thing the wealthy fixed.
    The French Revolution wasn't about wealth distribution you uneducated hack.

    In all of human history “The Wealth” has been “unequally” acquired by earth’s population.



    Those seeds of revolt have been sown many times by misguided souls. Robinhood-ism is “theft.” Theft by one is no better than by any other, it’s the perverted attempt for a perverted justice.

    Socialism, i.e. government forced wealth redistribution in any extreme form has never solved any wealth inequality issue. On the contrary, it is a predestination to elitist dictatorships, where the government’s holders of the power become the super wealthy and the population suffers from disincentive, crippled production and redistributed poverty.

    Only “constitutional” capitalism governed by a loyalty to constitutional principles of “fair opportunity” for all produces the best economic system for all.

    They love taxes because they don't make enough to get their wallets emptied.
