Over the last few decades, a tiny elite has amassed astronomical amounts of wealth and power. Meanwhile, the rest of us struggle, and the country declines.
This is not an accident.
The biggest divide in our country is not left vs right. It’s top vs bottom. Billionaires and the politicians they fund want us angry and divided because our unity is a threat to their wealth and their power. It is the oldest strategy in the world - divide and rule.
Their social media algorithms, their newspapers and their political friends attempt to tear us apart - by race, by gender, by religion. So we don’t notice them amassing more wealth and more power to fix the rules of our country in their favour. As their fortunes grow, ours decline.
