Google is with more today than GM or Ford were worth 40 years ago, yet they employ less people than those companies did at the time. More total wealth is being created than ever before, but the workers creating that wealth aren't seeing these increases. Asking for fair compensation isn't demanding things from the winners, but acknowledging that everyone is working far harder than we need to.
This kind of wealth inequality is dangerous because it allows those with all of the money to subvert democracy and subvert capitalism.

The rich convince half the poor that the other half is the reason why they're poor. Hell, some people want to get rid of the inheritance tax^1 because somehow they believe their kids will benefit. Not many are rich enough to have to pay this tax, but the rich convince the poor to vote for it with the lie that it's somehow unfair to everyone.

Speaking as someone who may have to move to the EU, I dread that day. I can confidentially say, that with my speech and lack of fucks given, i would most likely get arrested and jailed in under a week
