Valkyrie, we have no way of knowing if the situation would become similar in the next 15 years.
I agree, Shell B.
I think that the only way this will happen is through economic necessity from their point of view. By that, I mean that when the corporate leaders see the situation as threatening to their survival, they'll instruct Congress to make the appropriate changes. But even then, if there's a choice between the wealthy surviving and the middle class surviving, Congress will protect the wealthy's interests, because only the wealthy contribute to the bank accounts of congresspeople. To be fair, without the rich, those in Congress would have a lot lower incomes.
How many of us would do the right thing if it cost us half our incomes?
