It’s pretty simple math from there. The average worker produces about $220k in goods and services per year, the median individual income is about $40k, mean $60k, but, quite frankly, definitely don’t want mean there because it is clearly skewed by the parasite class to a fairly sizable degree, even before they start double dipping into better benefits and such.
Now, obviously it’s a very complex system being reduced pretty significantly, for example I don’t believe it takes material costs into account.
But not that significantly, and if you follow the timelines back you can see it get worse. There are certainly many nations that seem to get along just fine with a far lower ratio somehow.
Definitely not enough that there’s an excuse for any reasonable society to have one single homeless person who doesn’t damn well want to live with his balls hanging out in the cold, or let kids go hungry, or make single moms beg for GoFundMe to pay their medical bills.
Not op but I would very much like to know the figure and the source, because I want as many people to know about this as possible

Thank you. I think this is a really important point to make re: inequality and social system.
