The poor live better than ever before, yet somehow because the wealthy also have
more, people want to just burn the entire system down.

Technology has made it so that people can leverage themselves better than ever before in many industries. It used to be that an author could write a book and sell it a million times and become rich, or an actor could do the same. Now because of technology, a guy can write an app that allows everybody in the world to stay connected to their long time friends (i.e. Facebook) and basically become a Rockefeller.

This guy getting unbelievably rich did not somehow make the poor guy make less money, or take food off of someones table, he saw an opportunity and people willingly make the guy richer and richer every day. The left say this is a problem. That Mark Zuckerberg having this much money is an attack on the poor and this unequal distribution of wealth is terrible. I would say this is an amazing success story that should have every poor person on earth learning to code phone apps.

The problem I have is that the young and the poor are constantly told how bad they have it (in an effort to capture votes) and they buy into it. If there is ever some wild revolution in this country similar to the French, it won't be because the rich had too much money, it will be because the media/left sold the poor on how their unhappiness is the result of the rich people having too much money.
