Amen to the root problem.

I've written about this a lot, mostly here:

My focus was on an election - but your point that the ultimate response to great poverty in the midst of great wealth will be war has already been shown to be true.

It is typical for the wealthy managers of a regime to divide and conquer. They have, intentionally or not, created an us vs. them situation in America, whereas in truth we have common interests.

I've watched the decline of our economy for 40 years and what we are looking at is not even a need for a better division of the pie. The pie is almost entirely in one group's hands.

The rest of us, rural voters, urban voters, Trumpsters and minorities, are all fighting for the small slice of dried fruit that is left stuck to the edge of the pan after the wealthiest have run off with the entire pie.
