The wealth gap matters because it&#x27;s a gap. The middle class disappears, which shuts down social mobility, and leaves a society that has more in common with medieval serfdom than “the American Dream”.<p>This chucklehead thinks that the solution to dealing with folks who have to work two full-time jobs at minimum wage salaries to make ends meet is to eat at McDonalds when he goes out with his less-fortunate friends and save the caviar and 16-year-old scotch for when he’s home or out with his investment buddies. It’s goddamned nonsense and, ironically, shows an unbelievable blindness to the very thing he’s trying to embrace — empathy.
