Those who embrace a naive view of American Exceptionalism love to tout how special the United States is compared to every other nation in the history of the world. That is, until it comes to American slavery. In that case, the US is no better or worse than every other nation where slavery existed. 🗃️

In 1970 in the U.S. there were 5 billionaires controlling a neglectable percent of the total U.S. wealth . In 2025 there are over 800 billionaires controlling over 30% of the U.S. economy. The theft of wealth from the lower to the upper class in the last 50 years is criminal and unsustainable.

Absolutely true. It's the billionaires not paying their fair share of taxes not the hardworking immigrant being scapegoated. Look to the top for the reason for the problem.
