Anyone who thinks the disparity in wealth should grow instead of shrink is part of the problem. Greed is something democrats and republicans can routinely unite on because they're both in on it. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] tocopherol@lemmy.dbzer0.com 4 points 2 years ago It might be part of the culture, but there is a class of people with substantially more wealth who are able to direct legislation to cause people to be charged like this pastor. The vast majority of people I think anywhere on earth would believe you should help the needy, but the average people don't have a say like the wealthy class does, and this class has it's own distinct culture which praises greed and growth. permalink fedilink source parent [–] SpezBroughtMeHere@lemmy.world -2 points 2 years ago (1 child) But I was told democrats and republicans are not the same. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Dark_Arc@social.packetloss.gg 8 points 2 years ago An F-150 and a Prius both need tires.
