Our big problems

In my opinion the two greatest threats to America are climate change and wealth inequity. They are pretty much the same problem. We know about climate change. An article in the Washington Post gave us some scary numbers about wealth inequality. The richest .00025% in the US have tripled their share of national wealth since Reagan was elected. Those 400 Americans now own more wealth than the 150 million adults of the least wealthy 60% whose share has fallen in the same period from 5.7% to 2.1%. I do not have a problem with wealth all by itself, but there is no such thing. I have a problem when the wealthy prevent children from getting the health care that they deserve, when they reduce education to gather more wealth to themselves, and when they simultaneously profit from industries that have caused global warming and fund climate change denying politicians. Please connect the dots: labor union suppression, voter suppression, denial of the truth about global warming, strangling education, expansion of the impoverished and marginally employed working class, stoking our fears of bogus national threats - immigrants, LGBTQ, terrorists, blacks, socialists, abortion clinics, whatever - all have a single purpose: accelerating and concealing the concentration of wealth.
