    America is collapsing....HOWEVER ....the first thing to do is to finger those who are responsible.

    I hope people understood what this guy was saying.
    It doesn't matter what color or ethnicity the Billionaire, the Ownership Class has a common goal of 'making money off the Working Class'.

    The yearning to exploit our fellow man is a well known part of the human condition.

    The Enlightenment Thinkers who were sure that greed could be encouraged and then harnessed were dreadfully wrong.

    I do not follow this but this I know....Greed is one of the blood lusts....unleash it and feed it only if you have a death wish.

    The men of the Enlightenment were too often hopelessly naive.

    Perhaps at root the problem was not listening to women.

    JUST WONDERING

    plutocracy
    [plo͞oˈtäkrəsē]
    NOUN

    government by the wealthy.
    "the attack on the Bank of England was a gesture against the very symbol of plutocracy"
    a country or society governed by the wealthy.
    "no one can accept public policies which turn a democracy into a plutocracy"
    an elite or ruling class of people whose power derives from their wealth.
    "officials were drawn from the new plutocracy"
    "There is no question former President Trump bears moral responsibility. His supporters stormed the Capitol because of the unhinged falsehoods he shouted into the world’s largest megaphone," McConnell wrote. "His behavior during and after the chaos was also unconscionable, from attacking Vice President Mike Pence during the riot to praising the criminals after it ended."
