And maybe you're thinking, well, that's fine, because what I'll fight for is the dismantling of the welfare state.

So once we dismantle the welfare state and we enormously increase poverty in your country, we close down all the schools, we close down all the hospitals, you know, millions of people lose their jobs.

And all of that wealth is accumulated by the very rich.

What do you think happens next?

You know, if we don't deal with the taxation of the super rich now, there's only one other option, which is a fight to the death between the poor and the middle.

And whichever one of those you're on, you know, if you think you're going to win, what happens when the other side is gone?

You know, this aggressive growth of the wealth of billionaires

There is a mathematical inevitability to this.

And there is a historical inevitability as well.

You know, read your history and understand that the past 2000 years of human history is 10 guys living like kings while everyone else starves on the streets.

That is all of human history except for the last 70 years.

And we only managed to provide these things which we're losing now.

you know, a welfare state, you know, education, healthcare, you know, the kind of education and healthcare that I've had that my dad had, my grandparents and great grandparents could never even dream of that.

You know what I mean?

The kind of secure housing, the kind of secure food.

But it's important to recognize that they did that by taxation of the very rich.

So that's it.

That's the end of this week's video.

Again, you know, I think I've made a little bit of a turn back to these more depressing videos.
