I suppose there isn’t much.

Dividends are free cash that the company distributes to shareholders whereas it ought to reward the workers imo. I see it as peak siphoning profit away from the working class to the “ruling” class (who don’t contribute anything).

Capital gains and the whole stock market are bad too. As is our tired, biased tax code.

Jesus… a lot to fix.

Lol, too true 😁

Yes, but it includes the whole population rather than a narrow sub-section. It would also send a much stronger message.

See what happens when CEOs and politicians need to wipe their own asses.

…so let people die, stop caring for our neighbours, allow ignorance and illiteracy to fester. Seems extreme and misplaced.

A better, less-nihilistic approach might be: stop buying things, cancel subscriptions, sell dividend-paying stocks, etc. Or even better: a general strike.

How are you (OP) blaming the “middle” class? What could you suggest nurses, teachers, fire fighters, etc do to solve the problem of wealth inequality?

I genuinely want to know because it seems to me that we control nothing and have no excess to give.
