It seems like a lot of people here are looking for "the" root of the problem, as though there is one person or small group of people or laws that could fix the whole mess. The truth is that we are pretty much all complicit in small ways that add up, and that complicity generally takes the same form: I want a little more for myself, and have a convenient blind spot when it comes to ways in which systems and processes help bias things in my favor. Elsewhere it's been pointed out that there's no (non-arbitrary) way to distinguish a "tax loophole" from a "tax code." It's sort of an "I know it when I see it" thing. But how many of us have the courage to stand up and say "hey, this is unfair for others" vs "hey, this is unfair for me"? Until that happens, this kind of thing will continue in a variety of forms that may seem unrelated but profoundly aren't. But something inside us is scared of giving up any ground. So what's the solution? Well, meditation and psychedelics are showing tremendous promise in awakening the sort of "universal empathy" and profound sense of fundamental safety and security that can shift the balance. We can't get on that train fast enough.
