I'm coming around to the idea that the high income folks are actually the problem.

Things are a problem because we say they're a problem. But who's doing the saying? Not the low income folks, they have much more pressing problems they'd rather talk about.

Seems like eliminating the high income folks from the discourse would result in a redirection of focus toward more serious issues.

Unironically this used to be a "self-solving" problem because the high-income and low-income would self-segregate and deal with their own problems in their own areas.

But modern liberal democracy kind of insists that those differences "don't really exist" and so we try to force everything together.
