ELEVATOR PITCH FOR OUR CURRENT ECONOMIC SITUATION

The Economy is like a Game

Because the wealth of this country is concentrated into the hands of so few people, the economy today is like joining a Monopoly game where all the properties have already been purchased. Every trip you make around the board you just give your monopoly money to the property owners and are expected to survive by just passing GO. The deck is stacked. The dice are loaded. The playing field ain't level, and the system is rigged. The odds are not looking good for most people. The only reasonable conclusion is that more people will become homeless, more people will become poor, and fewer people will achieve a middle class lifestyle. However, more and more wealth will continue concentrating into the hands of the ultra rich.
