1. The 'Epstein Class' consists largely, if not entirely, of oligarchs.

Oligarchy, and the insane concentration of wealth and power in the US (and the world) are the cause of most problems.

In fact, there is enough for all, if more evenly distributed.

Generalizations are dangerous, except when they help save democracy and the planet. Perfectionism is the enemy of almost everything (exceptions for things like brain surgery and so on).

Put simply, they do what they want and use trickery to deceive people into fighting with each other, not the "privileged"

Wilhoit's law.

“Conservatism consists of exactly one proposition, to wit: There must be in-groups whom the law protects but does not bind, alongside out-groups whom the law binds but does not protect.” That line—written by Frank Wilhoit—has become a popular aphorism to sum up the hypocrisy and moral bankruptcy of the modern Republican Party.
