But you said a. the wealthy aren't capturing the money and b. that the majority of the problem is that normal people are spending frivolously. Both these statements are untrue.

As much as you may want to deny it, the fact that the majority of the wealth goes to a small amount of people does effect you, it effects everyone. These are the same people who also have the power (because you know in our society wealth = power) to make everyone's quality of life go down. These are the same people who make wages stagnate while cost of living continues to increase. Gigantic companies are also the most likely to ship a job overseas and pay people unfair wages (we're not talking anything where you can save, we're talking below the poverty level and that's not even getting into unsafe working conditions and child labor.)

You live in a privileged position where you can control your savings, good for you. I don't know why you don't understand the relation between the super wealthy and your position in life though, blaming normal people, or the poor, has never "fixed" societies ills.

Both of those statements are true and you are providing me with no evidence, or even anecdotal statements, to prove them wrong. You're spewing a lot of shit that your sociology professor told to make you feel like you have no power or responsibility to improve your life.

Some people have more money than you. That does not mean they stole it from you. That does not mean they owe you anything. Get over it.

You labor under the belief that we are all peasants except for the 1% who are kings and there is nothing that can change this situation. That's adorable. Even more adorable is your mention of child labor. Psst. The Fair Labor Standards Act was passed in 1938. America outlaws that shit.

I'll bet money you live in the first world, which means you are more privileged that most of the people on Earth. It's sad that you're too stupid to realize how blessed you are. Blaming other people for your problems never fixed anything.
