  • Despite the things you have said you have done the distribution of wealth has become more polarised across your generation than before. Your children with good cause will blame you for their world as you blame the generations before you, in spite of your efforts to improve things. Possibly those before you recognised the way things were going and worked as hard as you to correct them but were as ineffective as you have been and for the same reasons. My point is you are on the Titanic blaming the weight of the other passengers for it sinking and not the iceberg.


  • Are you working for a corporation, are you paying taxes to the government, what have you personally done to bring about a more equitable redistribution of wealth and how effective have your actions been. You are an ordinary person, the same as the majority of the generation before you, they cannot be blamed for living their lives as easily as they could within the society they found themselves. The blame for the current financial predicament working people find themselves in lies in a very clear single cause and until large proportions of the population see this clearly nothing will be done. You blurring the dominant cause is actively hindering its betterment.








  • You are not understanding the situation, the degree to which they are vastly outnumbered is staggering and they must fully understand that if even a small percentage of the general population could organise and mobilise then everything the billionaires have could be very easily taken from them. The idea that they and their families could be overrun at any moment, and with legitimate cause to redistribute wealth, no matter what security or even armies they have in place to protect them must be a constant fear weighing on them. At present the threat is neutralised by propaganda and manipulation of the law and governing powers but that method is an endless juggling act and not wholly reliable, and there are historical precedents for it failing. The obvious solution is a winnowing of the general population down to numbers that could be managed by security measures but for this an alternative workforce must be found.
