Agreed.
The only way for a wage earner to bootstrap their way up is to have money when historic opportunities to invest present themselves, like March 2020 and April 2025. If you have a few thousand to invest now, chances are that will turn into a massive profit over time. And even better, hold those securities for longer than a year and you get a preferred, lower tax rate on any profits.
But most people can't do that. They're stuck taking out an (air quotes) "interest-free" loan from Klarna to make sure they don't starve this week. Our politicians are, thankfully, focused on the most important priorities, like drag queen story time. (And that's sarcasm, btw.)
