Re: Random pedantic gripe

Oh I agree. Income inequality is terrible on many levels but the lack of distinguish between the 1% and the 0.01% when it comes to political Influence gets my pedantic goat every time
I like Bernie's was of putting it best, a handful of billionaires buying elections. It's clear without dragging the local dentist or something into rigged elections
You could argue that dentist should be taxed more and I agree but that's a separate issue

But it's not really a separate issue at all. Both the billionaire and the dentist are, in fact, real and material parts of the system of wealth inequality in the United States. The billionaire is a more acute part of that problem, but I don't agree that they're unrelated.

Yes that's what I said?
Both are part of then wealth inequality roblem and I literally just said even the dentist should be paying more taxes. But that's separate to the campaign finance problem
The Coalition ofnDemocratic Dentists can't stand up to one Koch bro

Sa
to be even more specific my gripe is when people say for example "the 1% buying elections"
The 1% aren"t buying elections, 99% of them literally dont have the money to do so
When discussing "the income disparity between the 99% and the 1%" it makes sense but people conflat the issues

My husband is a dentist. He earns ~$36K a year and he's a damned good dentist, the kind who will fix your teeth without trying to sell you a bunch of cosmetic shit you don't need. Why doesn't he make more? Because he treats mostly poor people and is compensated whatever the state will pay him. Not all dentists are rich.

Poor person on Welfare with a Medicaid-related health insurance can confirm this. Plenty of doctors in my state have stopped accepting Medicaid and other cheap health insurances 'cause it doesn't reimburse them enough. (I have a difficult time finding a decent therapist due to this!) They've got to pay off that vacation house, second car, and skiing trips!
