11. When you hear that the Walton family has more money
Than the lowest 40% of the people what do you think?
Is that cause for amazement and do you see them as some sort of kings that have by divine right amassed that fortune for the good of us all?
It does not seem obscene to you at all?
And the next question is where are we going with this, because the divide will only get wider if nothing is done. And soon all the we;th and property will be owned by a few families and the rest will be feudal serfs that work at their pleasure.
History has shown this to not be a sustainable society.
