because they have no power.

They have no wealth, they have no power.

And the only way, the only way you take that power back for regular people for democratically elected governments is to fix your distribution of wealth.

And the only way you will ever achieve that is serious taxation of the extremely rich.

But you know, it's not just governments.

It's not just government.

Same thing is happening in housing.

You know, if your government has no wealth, it cannot provide you with

with a good wealth estate.

But if you, as ordinary families, have no wealth, then you are not going to be able to outcompete the rich for housing, and you won't get housing.

And you're not going to be able to outcompete the rich for food, and you won't get food.

I'm really hoping that the point I'm getting through to you here is

Wealth inequality is not an abstract concept.

It is about who is allowed to live in a home, who is allowed to have education, who is allowed to have healthcare, who is allowed to have holidays, who is allowed to have leisure time, who is allowed to have retirement.

That is what wealth inequality is.

There are not infinite amounts of all of these things and if we allow ourselves to exist

in mathematical systems where every single day these guys are losing share and these guys are gaining share then your share will get less and less and that is why you can't afford the house and that is why in many cases ordinary families can't afford food and heating that is why you can't afford a pension like your dad had that is why you will never be able to retire

People always say zero-sum, zero-sum.

We do not live in infinite-sum games, right?
