The standpoint of many socialists and Left-leaning ideologues is not akin to the reality. The wealth of the world’s one percent, as they put it, is like saying a manager has too much power. It’s like accusing us all of hoarding food when it’s our dinner time. It’s the same as seeking to fill any car seat regardless of the drivers wishes.
The great glass ceiling above us, that being wherever wealth is held, is also supported by an alleged twenty percent beneath it. These are the staff that work in industries rich with investment. They are the people tasked with making sure money stays where it’s useful. They also even have to make it profitable.
The rest – much of the remaining seventy nine percent – are the rest of us who use or rely on money. It’s there that protesters are usually found. It’s their income, their property, or their savings at risk that matters. The call to pull the ceiling down is akin to wishing the sky to fall on our heads. It doesn’t work. It can’t work. It won’t work. It’s why people call for reason – and calm.
