    What do you propose as an alternative way to address the wealth inequality without completely redesigning capitalism?

      Have you considered… Abolishing capitalism?

      Weird idea, I wonder if there’s literally millions of pages of thought on how to do that, or if some state somewhere just, like, didn’t let individuals own factories and such

        Sure. I was 20 once. I’m asking realistically. How would you propose addressing the wealth inequality within the means of our current system?

          Our current system isn’t even that old. Burn it down. Stop internalizing the idea that capitlaism is necessary or inevitable.

            Then I hope you like eating dent corn. The US produces a fraction of its resources, addressing the economy with a full upheaval would inevitably deflate the US Dollar enough to destroy our import/export trade for quite a while.
