Once again, channeling Marx: The time has come for the American people to achieve what he referred to as “class consciousness”. I.e., the realization that absolutely nothing that the rich have would be possible without the working class. Nothing. The realization that labor is the source of all wealth, and all production.

We have the democratic institutions to roll back the crazy without violence, but the working class has to wake up from their long stupor. They have to realize they hold the wheel, and have always held the wheel. There has t be a shift in culture.

(No, I am not endorsing a revolution. I am endorsing a mashup of democratic processes and widespread fundamental economic awareness of what money really is, and from whence it gains its value. We don’t need socialism, we just need a progressive tax code, a population that understands its value, and that the rich most certainly do not share the same interests as labor.)
