>Rome's top 1% controlled 16 percent of the wealth, compared to modern America where the top 1% controls 40 percent of the wealth.
>Looking at the Gini coefficient, where 0 means perfect equality and 1 means perfect inequality, Rome measured between 0.42 and 0.44. Modern America scores worse at 0.45, and some areas are much worse like Fairfield County, Conn. with an alarming 0.54.
Who gives a fuck, the poor people now in the USA live better and comfier lives than the richest in the Roman empire.

commies always want a share. they don't care how good they have it in total, but how better you have it compared to them i.e. if you have 2 billion dollars but they have 1 billion they'll still whine. You can't fix this degeneracy other than by gassing
Nolan Reed

it becomes a serious problem though when those who control such a high portion of the wealth exert their economic power into the political arena. economic power leads to political power.

>Compares top 1% >Author's own source talks about top 10% Literally 1% less "equal" but their own bullshit too

Better QoL makes people forget what working for shit mean, when no one has to suffer for anything, everything becomes meaningless shit

I love living in America. Im poor but I own a house and it's not bad. Thankfully live in a city with good cost of living.

Unironically blame the kikes, since the 60s they destroyed the industrial system sustituting it for a giant financial ponzi scam .
Literally just stop immigration and wages will rise and you don’t be importing more poor people.
This is like how people claim to care about environmentalist issues while still wanting to mass import people into first world countries.
Angel Harris
do we limit off shoring too? international corps can reach the same effect re wages by moving production to lower cost foreign locations. The push for women to enter the workforce had a termendous downward pressure on wages too, as it increased the labor supply by a substantial amount. Wages won't ever return to pre 1970s era (relative) levels until women return back to the home.

Oddly enough, while there are loads of women that work, they typically work in worthless positions (HR) or half-ass it all day long as they would rather socialize than work. Hiring a woman simply is almost always a colossal waste of money. And it's simply not worth it just to accommodate the few women that actually do work worthwhile positions well.

Yes but at least we don't use sponge at the end of a stick to clean our collective asses.

>Rome's top 1% controlled 16 percent of the wealth, compared to modern America where the top 1% controls 40 percent of the wealth. What percent of the 1% was Jewish again? Over half? Oh, right, oops.

Cesar led the first communist empire. >redistribute the lands of the rich to soldier, and the poor.

USA is fascist military state by all means. The difference is that its modern times and the format is different. For example, USA is fueking their economy by war and stealing. It was different before but with the neo-con doctrine the main thing is war and stealing. Socially they act tolerant and such but as we all k ow that is only a sham.
Jose Williams
USA is literally logos >What use are weapons, if there is no war? Unless they tear down old buildings, they cannot build new ones. Unless they scorch our fields, they cannot make the starving people buy their food. A world at peace is not profitable, it cannot be manipulated. Therefore they will not cease their attempts at forcing us to fight.

Roman Empire and Constantinople were the height of civilization.
