‘Income inequality is out of control’ — Scott Galloway says ‘we risk revolution’ in America as the country’s tax policy has ‘gone full oligarch’
Story by Vishesh Raisinghani • 22h

As President Trump settles back into his role as commander in chief, Professor Scott Galloway is issuing a stern warning to the entire country: America’s inequality crisis is at a tipping point.

On an episode of MSNBC’s Morning Joe with Joe Scarborough, Galloway warned that a small group of wealthy individuals have “weaponized [the] government, and we risk revolution.” The NYU professor and host of the popular Prof G Pod believes we’ve already seen the signs of this impending rebellion.
 
 
“Whether it’s CEOs being murdered in the street, whether it’s the ‘MeToo’ movement that had righteous components of it, or Black Lives Matter. What are these movements? They’re targeting the wealthy,” said Galloway on the show. “We are in the midst of a series of small revolutions to correct income inequality.”

By means of shrewd lies, unremittingly repeated, it is possible to make people believe that heaven is hell - and hell heaven. The greater the lie, the more readily it will be believed.

The receptivity of the masses is very limited, their intelligence is small, but their power of forgetting is enormous. In consequence of these facts, all effective propaganda must be limited to a very few points and must harp on these in slogans until the last member of the public understands what you want him to understand by your slogan.

So, Snarlborough thinks the government should determine how much your job value is and how much you should be paid.  I don't imagine he sees himself in that formula however.  I can't imagine anyone more overpaid than someone who reads the news on TV. **nononono*

I'd read news on TV for HALF of what he's been raking in. (And I would not lace it with leftist histrionics, either)

Of all tyrannies, a tyranny sincerely exercised for the good of its victims may be the most oppressive. It would be better to live under robber barons than under omnipotent moral busybodies. The robber baron's cruelty may sometimes sleep, his cupidity may at some point be satiated; but those who torment us for our own good will torment us without end for they do so with the approval of their own conscience.

If people put half as much effort into maximizing their earnings as they did into seeking free stuff, we’d all be much better off.

It's not fair that aeronautical engineers get paid more than English majors.
