I'm going to have to disagree.
In your world of perfect analysis of every situation, this might be true, but when you drill down to the Baltimore, South Chicago, etc level, that is not their idea of wealth redistribution and the liberal progressive party agrees with that demographic, not yours.
They bait the demographic with the "rich white man" that takes your money and here you are in poverty because of that. Only the liberal party that needs your vote to "fix" this is here to "help" you, yet they never help.
DC, Baltimore are still the same as they ever were, and getting worse under democratic progressive leadership.
This country is where it is at because of automation. Had we not progressed from knapping flint to Nuclear physics because of automation where would we be today? You cannot progress in the workplace or progress as a nation without automation.
Oh look you found another post of mine to turn into a straw man argument. Never once argued automation was in and of itself a bad thing.
