If money allows me freedom to not live stressed out by paycheck-to-paycheck status, so be it. If having a brand new Lexus allows me freedom to go wherever I want to go while someone else is stuck at home with a broken-down hoopty, so be it. Money, in general, shouldn't be allowed to buy yourself out of trouble, but if it can ease a mind from work-a-day worries, that's wonderful for them.
I am not talking about work a day worries only. I am talking about our disappearing working class. In the long run it will hurt this country badly. Nothing wrong with being rich at all. The problem is the trickle down theory is not working and never did.
Being legal doesn't make it right. Some of the antitrust laws around these days are intrusive, overextending, and borderline criminal.
Some are, most aren't. Protecting the environment, and our workers etc seems like common sense. To bad corporations and other "entity's" were given "personhood." is just one more weight dragging down the middle-class. Eventually it will be nothing but rich and poor. And since the poor make up the majority of the military and police etc, what do you think it will eventually lead to? But why should you care? You have a Lexus, lol.
