Or all 3
The great separation in wealth distribution happens when you wipe out the middle class, and that happens when you put massive numbers of working people out of work.
We have never seen so many people out of work.
If they will make a decision to move industry back onshore, shut down illegal immigration completely, shut off legal immigration to some decent minimum, shut off the H1B to some decent minimum and put Americans back to work, you’ll see the distribution of wealth take on a more healthy balance. Make it easier to hire people, make it easier to work for yourself, and likewise.
I wonder how all the large number of liberals in the 1% and even higher are figuring they’re going to be immune from their dire predictions.
Or do they just assume the rioters and looters are going to know they’re liberal and somehow spare them.
While I respect Mr. Jones’ intentions (and his bank account), I have to disagree with his solution to the problem.
A very long story short, it’s a corrupt public educational system, media, and not the least is government itself (including most of the alphabet agencies) that first and foremost refuses to adhere to the spirit as well as the letter of the Constitution.
Fix that and any corporate badboys and badgirls will be reduced to a mere annoyance.
Toltarian regimes such as the 0bama regime foster unrest among us peasants.
He was famously short stocks before Black Monday in 1987 (that was a Very Big Day for you who don't recall).
Now then, as to the solution, the problem is this: the great America was built by individuals who were human. A highly effective prosperity machine that the beneficiary of the entire human race can only be the product of virtue. An informed conscience is required for the application of virtue. If you breed the conscience out of the race, the prosperity machine fails. When you have bred the conscience out of the race, you've also bred out wisdom, common sense, and the fear of God. Without those, sound decisions cannot be made; leadership exercises folly, and people demand laws that are intended to impose the virtues they have lost on the society. But it doesn't work that way. Virtue doesn't come from Government, it comes from God.
Having diminishing virtues and wisdom, challenges and crisis result in foolish, costly and ineffective responses. These snowball in cost and demoralize the people, who lose confidence in their leaders. Social instability increases, while some pine for a magical leader to make everything right again. If a big enough crisis comes, as it inevitably will, leaders will panic. It's the perfect storm of human stupidity, energized by technology, information, and capital.
This is the world we live in.
I believe Mr. Jones over-states capital and capitalists ability to effect this sick society liberals have created. Like many fortunate humans who, after birth and because of a magical confluence of wealth and education and ability achieve great wealth, he is perhaps on a self loathing guilt trip.
Fatherless blacks, as one 15 year old just did, shoot old men in the chest while they beg for their lives. Politicians are hopelessly corrupt and grew up with no moral code which has brought us lying politicians like Boehner, the Clintons, McConnell, Reid, Pelosi and Obama. Unionists in the NEA care zip about the school children. I could go on for a thousand pages.
To a liberal, a mention of a “moral” brings on a “chuckle”. The black father out there making fatherless babies every night thinks it’s funny.
No, Mr. Jones, your full of yourself, “capital” is only a small part of an unfixable problem. You are right though that extreme violence is the only real fix. That’s a sad but immovable fact.

Interesting how the words of Bill Ayers still ring in the ears of the young revolutionaries.
In the late Sixties, Ayers became a leader of the Weather Underground (WU), a splinter faction of the Students for a Democratic Society (SDS). Characterizing WU as “an American Red Army,” Ayers summed up the organization’s ideology as follows: “Kill all the rich people. Break up their cars and apartments. Bring the revolution home, Kill your parents.” One of Ayers’ fellow WU leaders was Bernardine Dohrn, the woman who would later become his wife.
