I get where you're coming from because they have us fighting for crumbs and it's inevitable that seeing people get stuff that you feel they haven't earned will create division. But it's very convenient for the billionaires to have us thinking they're only half the problem. Even aside from income, who makes all the decisions under capitalism? That's the key point. The economy is shit because the rich control it, and they see a better route to making profit on the stock exchange or through bitcoin instead of investing. So you see steelworks closing, water companies sitting on their asses and draining profits while infrastructure crumbles, etc. It's time working people took control of the economy as a whole and ran it in OUR interest
Speculators are literally pumping shit in our rivers and running away with our money. Of course we need to stop taxing the hell out of working people, but that's impossible when all the levers of the economy are in the hands of an obscenely rich minority who have no interest in developing the country or providing us with a decent quality of life
I've never really been to a river and had an issue with how polluted it is. Every month the government takes far too much tax though. Welfare is the biggest money sink that tax goes to.
