"The massive income and wealth inequality that exists in America today is not just an economic issue, it is literally a matter of life and death," said Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont.
I know what you mean, but the bulk of the actual problem is that working class Americans can’t stop fucking killing themselves with stupid behavior. The leading causes of death are preventable. The thing you mean that you dare not simply come out and say because you value your liberty is living in a fantasy so that you don’t have to do the hard work of fixing reality.
It’s a lot better than the premise that murdering CEOs is going to improve the life expectancy of the working class. You just breeze by that, and then you stumble on my take?? People are looking for easy answers that don’t require they make any changes whatsoever. They’re begging for the intervention of some kind of savior, when the real answer is, “just stop killing yourself.”
Education (and learning) affects deaths of heart diseases and cancer. Say, my stupid, stupid dad during covid got ill (not with covid likely) and died from heart attack, because he was afraid to get infected by doctors (yes). Education also affects whether you become “poorer” or “richer”.
Heart diseases and cancer are affected by bad food habits, which are sometimes affected by executive dysfunction and addictive behavior, which also impede people from becoming “rich” directly.
And the longer you survive, the likelier you are to have successes yielding financial results.
So - maybe he doesn’t believe that, but I eagerly do, it just makes sense. Correlation is not causation.

You can’t truly believe rich people are just inherently better at not dying of heart disease or cancer.
