Well, then we should be basically on the same page, because I am a (financially poor) capitalist who agrees that the US, and by proxy much of the West, is being run by near-oligarchs who would be damn lucky to escape the guillotine in the French Revolution. I personally see this divide getting worse and coming to a head as the poor appear to be having more and more of their wealth siphoned up to the top, mostly government cronies, bankers, and the Federal Reserve.

I'm not for redistribution but these people ride the backs of the poor using inflation and dishonest money to perpetually confiscate and keep everyone effectively servants. I call it neo-feudalism and it's why I, and I think Dan Larimer, were ever here.

I'm for punishment, not redistribution, and there are a whole hosts of laws and constitutional rights with which to legally do so.
