A global study led by a researcher at Columbia University Mailman School of Public Health and published in the journal Scientific Reports finds that economic inequality on a social level cannot be explained by bad choices among the poor nor by good decisions among the rich. Poor decisions were the same across all income groups, including for people who have overcome poverty.
It CAN be explained by the ultra rich controlling everything though.
Our tax dollars get funneled into bailouts and subsidies for corporations and endless wars with countries that pose no threat to us.
Still come on, individuals should be held responsible to some extent otherwise some will use it as scapegoats to indulge their selfish endeavours.
We acknowledge that this dependency system should change, it’s regressive & just gonna keep destroying future generations & our planet.
