    Agreed.

    The top 1% are the true heart of the matter, here. I feel, everything else is a symptom of what they sow.

    They (the top 1%) are the personification of greed (not just the desire to hoard wealth but also power, because each begets the other), and greed really is the “root of all evil.”

      Being in 1% by income makes one barely a millionaire. Most likely not even that if they live in an expensive city and have a family.

          It’s not the same. Blaming a group of people without understanding who is in that group is not very thoughtful. This reeks of “kill the rich” or, more accurately, “kill whoever is more rich than me”. If you want to target someone with your frustration, understand at minimum who you are targeting.
