The Current Economic Model
In our current system, money always flows to the same place:
to a very small group of the super-rich.
That money comes from:
- people who work
- entire neighborhoods and communities
- even entire countries
And once the money reaches the super-rich, it almost never comes back.
It’s long been said that if the rich get richer, everyone benefits.
But that’s wrong. It doesn’t work that way.
That idea has proven to be wrong.
And now we know that.
The actual state of our current economy is shown below.
The Consequences
When money keeps going to the super-rich, it’s detrimental.
- Schools, healthcare, and public transportation receive too little funding.
- Politics becomes dependent on money and power.
- The economy becomes unstable and uncertain.
This doesn’t happen by chance.
It’s the result of a system that allows money to accumulate in the hands of a few,
instead of circulating it to everyone.
The Core Problem
The fact that a large portion of the money is in the hands of a few people is no coincidence. It’s inherent in our current economic system.
An economy that works this way cannot be fair.
It cannot remain strong.
And it cannot be truly democratic.
