I wonder if we’ve entered a new era where it’s just getting harder for everyone.<br><br>The ultra-rich are working harder than ever to squeeze out the poor and extract every last drop of wealth from our dying society. They’re making record profits by raising prices on everything and pushing millions of families into poverty. <br><br>At the same time, the working poor are struggling to make ends meet as wages stagnate and costs soar. They’re fighting for $15 an hour and healthcare, but the wealthy are fighting harder to keep them in poverty. <br><br>The middle class is being squeezed out as they try to make ends meet. They’re working longer hours for less pay, just to keep up with the cost of living. They’re worried about retirement, but the wealthy are happy to privatize Social Security and leave them to fend for themselves. <br><br>Even the ultra-wealthy are suffering. They’re seeing their wealth shrink as the economy slows down and inflation hits record highs. They’re worried about taxes and regulations, but they’re still making billions off the backs of the poor. <br><br>It feels like no matter who you are, life is just getting harder. The ultra-rich are getting richer, the working poor are struggling to survive, and the middle class is barely hanging on. Meanwhile, the ultra-wealthy are worried about their next trillion dollars.
