Wealth does not equal virtue.

Due to powerful propaganda, a lot of US citizens labor under the belief that more money equates to more intelligence, merit, worth etc. This means rich people can say or do the dumbest things and it gets hailed as wisdom ie Elon Musk. Trust fund babies, inherited wealth, being charismatic enough to cover your flaws in intellect, none of that exists in the world that American propaganda has created. You're poor because you're stupid, lazy, unworthy. You're rich because you earned it– somehow. The people on this sub aren't complaining because you're lazy and demand more money for no work. You want a livable wage & proper benefits for what you do but that's clearly too much to ask for from our capitalist overlords so why work hard at all? Extended effort is not rewarded with anything but more exploitation.
