What other paths? How do you imagine the rich who control government, media and military to "take a haircut" as you put it? They wouldn't be rich to begin with if they tolerated small loses without a fight.
Again I ask, what option? Let's discuss. See, if there was national unity and the rich saw everyone else as their own kind and everyone else saw the rich in the same way things might actually improve.
Of course you have on the extreme mainstream politicians who advocate for simply taking away rich people's money or how billionaires shouldn't exist. As if no one raised them to lnow taking others stuff for no reason is theft and wrong.
