All of the imbalances in our society are because of unregulated corporations who have gotten away with literal murder for decades. They have created a new nobility in the ultra-rich, as well as their career politician cronies, and that same group is conspiring to keep the rest of us at a certain level to insure both their positioning and our compliance in their positioning.

You remove the cause, you remove the regime as well as any chance of another group of animals getting to the top. The party should be working on that.

Why just fix one thing when we could fix most of it?
