Yeah, I don't know where to start with comments like this. There certainly are people that think "stock runners" should make as much as engineers and business people (or close), but this isn't exactly a mainstream belief. The concern is more about making a living wage, healthcare, retirement, and employment rights. Communism isn't necessary to achieve these goals. The outrage has more to do with people hoarding obscene amounts of wealth, without paying their fair share of taxes.
Very few people are interested in going after the middle class. Now the middle class may or may not be collateral damage of their policies, but that's not the goal. Not too many people are worried about a software engineer making $90k-$200k (probably more in the valley, this is based on areas with modest COL)
- JoeAltmaier 6y agoNot so much hoarding, as the rules were changed so they could skim egregiously off of every transaction. When the man-in-the-middle makes more off of a money transaction than either of the parties involved, the systemic result is they end up with all the money. Model the flows, not rocket science. Taxes are a patch. A direct fix is to severely limit fees for money handling, and to limit executive compensation. Like we used to do, before de-regulation turned it into a shark-infested bloodbath.
