Similar to the 19th century Italian economist, Vilfredo Pareto, who postulated that nature has an inherent ratio. He is known for the 80:20 ratio in most of nature. He also applied it to economics. So no matter what system, capitalism, communism, monarchy/feudalism, social dictatorships, military regimes etc. the top 20% will have eventually have 80% of asset wealth. So what we are observing today is not really unusual.

The true purposes of the schools are brainwashing, dumbing down, and enforcing conformity.

EXACTLY! It's challenging to reach financial independence BUT achievable particularly in the US due to low or no barriers to entry in learning/enhancing a skill to make money or buying "assets" vs other countries . I know based on experience. However, the "system" is making it more difficult for Americans vs ILLEGALS (no apologies! I paid a lot of money to a lawyer to enter/work in the US legally) to access resources paid by earners/taxpayers. Strive to be an OWNER not an earner. Goodluck!

An excellent video to remind us of this phenomenon that too many people ignore.

Even more telling is the fact that the top 0.1% have seen their wealth jump by 1,000% since 1990, while the bottom 50% has lost 25% of their wealth: https://sylvainsaurel.substack.com/p/cantillon-effect-101-the-top-01-have
