Wait until the divide between thee rich-middle/poor class becomes
so great we turn into Mexico; where the rich are kidnapped
while sipping coffee, and the police could care less.
The rich take so much for granted. By the way a lot of you tech guys are considered middle class now; but with the low barrier to entry of this world--I see a vast shift to the
poverty level in just a few years.
Not that I have many facts to back this up economically, but I think at some point the top percentile have invested interest in either paying the bottom percentiles more or making it easier for them. Everyone at the top 10% somehow relies on the other 90% to consume something they create. Look at what Henry Ford did to pay his workers more, in the hopes they would buy their own Model T.
Buy I'm an optimist, so add salt to taste.
In the modern USA, the rich wield too much political power to be kidnapped and ignored by police. Also note that the USA doesn't have a severe gang problem like Mexico does.
And low barrier to entry? Maybe, but I keep hearing all the time about companies not being able to find the talent and experience in people that they need/want.
USA doesn't have a severe gang problem only if you look the other way (which is easy to do, as wealth is, it isn't distributed equally). Those Mexican gangs all have subsidiaries in the USA for a start...
The running gag from Archer springs to mind. "Do you want a severe crime problem? Because extreme income inequality is how you get a severe crime problem."
