The "peace candidate" Trump wants to force 2 million Palestinians from their homes, give another $1 billion in weapons to Netanyahu, and enact a "plan" to turn the decimated Gaza strip into a billionaires' Riviera.

This is a very good leading article about class and inequality. I would just add that we need not be bound by our backgrounds.
My parents were upper-middle class (quite posh). But I want a far more equal society, where the rich have less and the poor have more.
