With the way zoning laws are now there can't really be any accountability or political change. Equality starts from the ground up not the other way around, the rich are just easy to pin everything on.

 I don’t blame the rich for anything other than taking advantage of a system that was bound to be a disaster at some point. We are getting closer to that point every day.

lol a tribute to yr Dad the economist? Love the research projects , you’ve got a head for data . Does he talk with you about this stuff 

The 1% is worth over 11 Million a head? Source?

The Government will never shutdown notice how they always pass a spending bill at the last minute ?

“Pork in a bill” comes to mind (had to look this up, musta heard it somewhere) where as an addition to a bill’s items, the brunt of spending on government programs like your food stamps and Medicaid is borne by a wide swath of taxpayers in a tack on 

they make it (bill) more palatable to the rich in Washington by tacking it on to something else 

Dont worry

The wealth gap is terrible at every class level. Just shows that pretty much everyone is shit especially in the US. It's why infrastructural and political equality is important but Americans like to do everything around backwards atomic individualism ideals. Middle class, working class, and poverty class all have giant gaps that prove there is a lot of hoarding going on no matter what.

UBI along with higher taxes is the best way to do distribution. Negative income taxes just don't work as well which is explained better elsewhere on the internet because basically UBI is a more simple and solid policy while negative is too exploitable/flimsy. Along with being able to add tax policy on top of UBI which ends up being a more functional system and less overcomplicated and arbitrary. 

I mean I don't think the US will change much at all if it can even save itself from a lot of consequences it has been building up. Maybe when future generations take hold there could be a little bit of progression but that also depends on several factors like the fact the rich and successful are more likely to take control and they are less likely to want change. (along with the rest still being controlling or even petty.)

I mean if I had my autistic way, the US would be full of brutalist apartment blocks made from solid materials and there would be UBI and high taxes and only allowing zoning for industry and even that should be a case by case basis on how far it would need to be.

Being able to develop higher density housing should be a constitutional right along with not having unreasonable and bizarre safety standards. Just in case it gets loopholed.
