  1. You own nothing so people with more money than your entire bloodline can see a line go up. That's not jealousy. It's a disgusting misallocation of resources.​ @WillieFungo

  2.  @WillieFungo  That's not how the system works. New wealth gets funneled up to the rich at your direct expense. That's why wages have been stagnant since the 70's despite all the new wealth brought by computers.

  3.  @WillieFungo  The U.S has lower economic mobility than every other OECD nation.

  4.  @BaphomentIsAwsome666  Exactly. The point isn't to be rich. The point is that people in the richest society on Earth shouldn't have to worry about having access to basic shelter, food, and healthcare.

  5.  @GCOSBenbow  America has islands of wealth surrounding by oceans of poverty

  6.  @WillieFungo  Truck drivers make less money today than they did in 1970.

  8. And here I thought rich people just suddenly liked living in a place with terrible weather, geography, and services.

  11.  @jrwstl02  Not true at all. American wealth inequality is ranked as some of the highest on the planet.

  12.  @jrwstl02  Cool anecdotes. The truck drivers in the U.S labor statistics show that truckers have only seen their wages fall behind the rate of inflation every year since the 80's.

  17. The only YouTubers who do this type of research and don't develop class consciousness are the ones who were already wealthy(Like Hank and John Green).

  19.  @WillieFungo  You are poor so you don't understand "new wealth" is irrelevant. It all gets funneled upwards to keep poors like you poor.

  20.  @fuzzy3440  You've spent your life serving as the violent arm of imperial domination. The best you can do at home is be tethered to your employer in the cheapest place possible, like a medieval serf.

  21.  @WillieFungo  You pay higher taxes than Europeans and you have less to show for it, you don't own your shelter(a bank or landlord does) and have more homeless people than literal wartorn nations. You know nothing about the nation you live in.

  22.  @Dave05J  Utter nonsense. Disposal income is literally just income you have that isn't taken by taxes. Spoiler. American's have the majority of their money taken by corporations, banks, and landlords. Not the government. You are poor because your access to shelter and healthcare is in the hands of private actors whose only goal is to take the most money possible from you.

  23.  @WillieFungo  You don't know a thing about how the system works. You are and will continue to be a serf, toiling for lords you'll never meet.

  24. Exactly right. Instead of the poor starving for lack of bread. The poor are drowned into diabetes from an ocean of corn syrup.
