The National Security of the United States is at risk due to our extremes of income and wealth inequality.
Americans may resort to violence to change inequality. While it is not certain, it is possible that millions of armed American citizens may rise in an armed revolution. The MAGA cohort number about 35% of the population or upwards of 100 Million people.
Many Americans know the system does not work for them. Here's why: The extremely rich among us or the billionaires, take so much money from the economy that hunger, hopelessness and homelessness abound.
Billionaires corrupt our systems so that normal methods of addressing imbalances do not work.
Billionaires deflect concerns about their accumulations by addressing a variety of social issues instead of the inequality issue. Their sole motivation appears to be the unbounded greed for power and money among the super rich.
In the event of such an uprising, rioters will consider the super rich with revulsion and disgust at the incredible cruelty they inflict on Americans every day.
Billionaires have the power and influence to correct the systems. Here's how: Simply instruct their elected minions to allow in the United States the Nordic style social benefits and safety net as installed in Denmark, Sweden and Norway.
Perhaps we can avoid an insurrection by installing these economic policies:
'The Nordic model today
The modern Nordic model is characterised by a public sector that provides its citizens with welfare services and a social safety net. Specifically, this includes child benefits, parental leave, health services and hospitals, all of which are free at the point of delivery. The public sector also looks after sick and unemployed people and senior citizens. The basic values underpinning the model are compassion, tolerance and the conviction that all humans are of equal worth.
Nordic welfare is built on the idea of good health for all. Universal initiatives have enabled the Nordic countries to combat infectious diseases through vaccination and to make significant progress in combating lifestyle diseases via alcohol policy and smoking bans.
Socio-economic equality is a key characteristic of the Nordic countries and helps create safe and secure societies. This is reflected in the statistics, e.g. for better health and longer life expectancy.'
