  1. By the time you read this, Jeff Bezos made more money than you would make in a year

  2. Even if you reduced the wealth gap, in the way that countries like Japan and Nordic countries do, though it would improve the well being of citizens of a country immensely, capitalism would still give the capitalist class control the highest control over workplace environment, control over what is produced, and most importantly… who gets to consume that production.
    A subsidy of farming for example will increase the production of food (it does it pretty well) but it does not ensure that production is used.
    The wealth gap is just one of the worst side effects of capitalism, but it is still merely a side effect.
