Americans Lose Faith That Hard Work Leads to Economic Gains, WSJ-NORC Poll Finds

Welcome to the late-stage capitalism.

Unless capitalists start paying the same tax rate as W2 workers, the inequality will continue to favor capitalist class and exploit the worker class.

This will not happen until the working class wakes up and demands to lower W2 wages massively and simultaneously tax everything and everyone who has been evading and decreasing their corporate/ultra high net worth taxes thus far. Every single loophole must be chased and closed leaving only a standard deduction

I wanted to do a snarky "fixed that" comment where I crossed out everything before "the inequality will continue," but actually I'm curious now: capitalism fans (which includes liberals), do you genuinely believe you can have capitalism in a way where the inequality doesn't continue to favor the capitalist class? So long as power can be purchased with capital, how could this ever not be the case?

Should we chase equality for everything? Or should we ensure basic rights are guaranteed and let everyone do as they prefer?

The only equality on paper we chase is before the law, everything else is up to luck and decisions.
