Capitalism has no social structure. It’s pretty much jungle law. We add a tad of socialism so that we seem civilized, but we don’t take care of each other. We don’t have health care. Except for Congress.

They have health care.

They are not great public servants. But they’re great servants of the wealthy. And the wealthy are doing well.

Billionaires have undue influence and they’re just unelected people.

Some could have human values, and accept being taxed out of billionaire status in order to live in an actual civilization with better environmental motivation. Hey, it could happen.

Some hsve control issues and are motivated by power, and are likely to have hateful tendencies. Sharing is not their strong point.

Short sighted greed supports Trump. They muzzle the media. In some places there’s no real news.

But if enough people don’t abandon their humanity and thoughtfully read in between the lines, we can undue “citizens united” promotion of inequality.

Hey, it could happen.
