There IS someone to blame. It is capitalism, and the greed of capitalist. I'm not talking about small business. I'm talking about those who we never really see because they are insulated. they are the financial and banking barons, the large corporations like Amazon, Facebook, Elon Musk, the billionaires who have worked for decades to destroy the lives of working Americans every day, It is capitalism. Regulations, public ownership of needed industries (housing, health care, education, utilities) and limits on the amounts of monies that the CEO class can take in proportion to their workers. A 30:1 is a good number. 3000:1 is not. And we need to immediately tax away all the wealth except maybe for a few million dollars of these assholes, plus bring down the exempt inheritance to maybe 2 million. If someone can't make it on that, send them to Dave Ramsey.
