Feudalism, feature for feature, has been firmly established in the USA. Walmart maintains a peasantry who are kept down with hand-to-mouth subsistence pay.

Sad but true

It’s refreshing to read the comments and not even one accuses you of being communist for your post.
I’m definitely in the wrong social.

Walmart should be a good stable job

Not just in America. That should be the bare minimum everywhere.

In America people should be able to work a full-time job, OWN a home and raise a family without worrying about a sudden illness pushing them into bankruptcy

The elites lives wouldn’t even change that much for us to do this. They’ll still have enough money to spend on the garbage they already spend on. This amount of hoarding wealth should be illegal, it only serves to control the population to keep them in power

If a job is necessary in our society, the person working it should be able to own a home and support a family without having a bunch of side hustles. One full-time job should be enough for a good life, no matter what job you’re working.

I don't think the rich realized at some point people will get wise to being robbed and there will be change whether they like it or not.
