Money, Power and Inequality

 

Money = Power

People who have wealth wield enormous influence in political and social life

In order to continue to wield the influence they accumulate more wealth for themselves

In accumulating personal wealth they hoard resources and restrict others from accessing those resources

In restricting access to resources they create scarcity which benefits themselves as they make a profit

This creates inequality and poverty in society

 

So your vote does not matter unless you change this model of development where wealth and resources are controlled by very few people who are unwilling to distribute such wealth. If national wealth is redistributed, what follows is a redistribution of Power.
