“Poverty exists not because we cannot feed the poor, but because we cannot satisfy the rich.”

This is why Worker and Consumer Cooperatives are so much better than Capitalist shareholder owned corporations. This level of inequality only happens when you let people own capital and accure capital external to a firm. Also income tax being higher than capital gains tax is fucked.
The rich will exploit desperate people and use different groups against each other to keep labor costs low.
