The problem is not inequality, it is the system. The political and financial elite needs to accumulate all that money in their hands to reduce inflation. If they put all that money to circulate immediately the economy would collapse. They have a lot of money but they can't spend it, they simply accumulate it as a way to exert power over others, and to direct the whole system.
As long as the system remains broken, the richest will become richer simply by controlling state mechanisms, as they do, and the poor will be poorer. Economic crises can only increase this difference, unless there is a real change.
yes, the financial system is a corrupt money-magic manipulation fantasy game that we all buy into and get fucked over playing.
Not a very funny game at all, but I think a lot of people like to "get fucked" part, because it is safer to be fucked than to be free.
True that! Freedom is scary, responsibility... people prefer the chains :/
