I have to interject the major impact inflation has made on this equation. The valuations are not realistic, be they $10k toilets on a government contract or the new listings in the local real estate market. Throw in ridiculous contracts for professional athletes to underline the craziness. The system IS skewed in favor of the one percenters, and the uber rich. You want to fix things? Income cap of 250k/yr. Across the board. No reason anyone needs more. Reign in the ridiculous monthly payments made to countries like Pakistan that give nothing in return. Hold everyone in Washington accountable. Someone will say this sounds like socialism or communism. Maybe so, and might be the only course to reverse the course of the great American society which is headed the way of the Roman Empire... Death due to excesses.
