5. Gregory is just repeating the Elite Narrative. There is a move.
"reform" Entitlements. Since the rich get the most
money from this economy, it is only logical they
will pay most taxes. They see Entitlements as higher
taxes for themselves(rich) This is why the Republicans
have been working all these years to get rid of SS, Medicare
and Medicaid. If you push the idea that entitlements are
too costly, then it makes it easier to cut them and/or
privatize them Gregory is simply repeating the narrative


You can also see the economy as rigged to favor the rich.
As a country in order to help business we do not require
a living wage, much deregulation favored the rich over
the working class It might appear that the Rich stay
rich on the backs of the working class. Therefore, it
is expected that the Rich would pay more taxes.

Think about the millions of Americans who have worked
with little or no healthcare or other benefits. This
is money the Businesses did not have to pay and went
to profits for the rich.

This is not class warfare. It is reality. Believe
it or not I would like to see more rich people
However, I also want to see fairness in the distribution
of wealth Good jobs with good benefits. Either
pay living wage or the Rich will have to pay more.
