didn't read too far in this thread...

but USA (and likely all the world) capitalism IS redistrubution in the form of tax brackets

i'm somewhere in the top 90% of single person income in the united states (nm the world).... and I'm solid lower middle class. The middle class gets taxed so fuckin bad it's reducilous. The government alone takes nearly 1/3rd of EACH OF MY PAYCHECKS and trying to buy a house in this state is a nightmare because anything decent cost 300k, and that's living in central part of this state where I would have to commute north to work. Living north, the same house would go for 500... which means either way I'd be living like all my friends I work with that own their houses, broke as fuck... aka solid lower middle class....
