Yes, it is not only in America but everywhere in the world, the rich are given priority.

That is simply false.

Ok, so trickle down economics work in your opinion?
Are all the hundreds economists that did research and proved it doesn't work also marxists?

It's actually true that the rich keep getting richer. It has been like that for many decades. And neoliberalism is to blame to a large extent. The idea was that if we favored economies of scale, while the efficiency would benefit the rich most, much of it would "trickle down" to workers. This what Thatcher and Reagan promoted to the world.

Ever since things have only been getting worse though.

If you hadn't cut the quote short, you wouldn't have been so misleading, but that's not your style. Are those studies you're talking about about Cuba, Venezuela, or North Korea?

Then you continue with the straw man argument: I'm not saying that the rich don't continue to get richer, but that the most prosperous societies are those where there are many rich people. They are where the middle class and low-income earners live better. Ask yourself why the number one country people want to emigrate to is the USA.

But seeing another thread of yours, I'm not surprised you have that victim mentality:

I've gotten to love this forum being a member of it since 2013. I couldn't say I got much in terms of monetary value off of bitcoin through the years, but the things I learned are priceless nevertheless.

Congratz for being appointed merit source btw.
