The Epstein class

Western supremacy and specifically American supremacy is over. After 250 years, the American experiment has run its course dying on the hill of late stage capitalism and a staggering wealth inequality never before seen in its history. 

Empires decline slowly over many decades and after Reagan's election in 1980 (I was 18) the die was cast. Neoliberalism and its insistence that markets would regulate societal and inequality issues turned out to be a deadly error. Trickle down economics was also the lie sold to a public that didn't viscerally understand how greed in human beings works. 

Today the public struggles to pay for groceries, housing and many have abandoned the idea of paying for health care insurance that is beyond their reach. The 90% is struggling while the 10% ponders what color their third boat will be. 

There is no way back from this without radical surgery that would involve a massive mea culpa a radicalized GOP is unprepared to make. 

Taking money out of politics and reintroducing fair taxation will be a bitter but necessary pill to swallow under the current corrupt environment but there is no longer any choice. 

It's either that or complete societal collapse. 

The Epstein class had their champagne years and looted the treasury while the middle class was slowly being hollowed out. No amount of cultural strawmanning of immigrants and other visible minorities will save the sinking ship now. 

Trump isn't the core problem but instead a symptom of a much larger one. 

Time is up and the Nuremberg type trials should be in order.
