Lol just $1000 extra a month. I agree that no, those people aren’t ultra wealthy, but let’s not act like that much a month isn’t a completely unobtainable amount for many, many people, especially when rent is eating up 50% of people’s paychecks to start with.
No one is pretending that’s the case. Eating this money simply isn’t enough to make the lives of the ones that don’t have it measurably better. There’s a fuckload more extracted further up the chain. Distributing some of that money should be enough to get the ones that don’t have the extra $1000 a month have it. That’s my point. Put differently, if you think the person that can save $1K a month is wealthy, the people that save $10K per month would be happy to offer the $1K guy’s money to you, while they keep theirs, and you won’t find yourself in a significantly better position than before.
Eating the rich is the way to go, but it can only work if we eat the rich. Not the ones making $10/hr more.
