Authoritarianism is uh flaring up around the globe. Not because of anything authoritarianism is doing right, but because of what democracy is getting wrong and in particular that democracy is not delivering like real tangible improvements in people's lives, in particular financial improvements and there is a massive correlation between countries that have extreme uh income inequality and see erosions of democracy, which is understandable because like why would you vote for a system that isn't working for you?

Why is the money that money makes more noble than the money that work makes? If there's any tax rate or a lower tax rate, it should be on people who actually show up and do the work to service us all as opposed to the people who sit behind a computer and trade their stocks on Robin Hood or hedge fund managers. And that might sound like class warfare, but it's not. It's Reagan. It's income is income.
