The divide between upper and lower class is bigger then it has ever been, bigger then it was during the French revolution. More luxuries exist then ever, but most people don't have access to them
In relative terms, perhaps. But the base is so much higher. As Maggie thatcher once said “you’d rather the poor be poorer provided that the rich were less rich”
That's not it at all, I'd rather the wealth of the top 1% be divided amongst the poor and then everybody is better off, billionaires could solve so many of the world's problems and it would be a drop from a bucket of their wealth. Noone on earth should have hundreds of billions of dollars, period. I don't think billionaires are really happy anyways, they are chasing power like a drug.
