The real conflicts dividing society are not based on identity but on disastrous government policies. Issues like deficit spending, money printing, and anti-competitive regulations are the true "enemies" that create the economic pain fueling social division, while identity is used as a distraction.

Deficit spending acts as a hidden tax via inflation. This tax disproportionately harms those without assets while benefiting the small percentage of the population owning assets like stocks and real estate. Therefore, supporting deficit spending is an active choice to make the rich richer and the poor poorer.

The K-shaped economy and extreme wealth disparity are primarily caused by modern monetary theory and deficit spending, which inflates asset prices. This central bank-enabled system is a more fundamental problem than the existence of wealthy individuals.

Excessive debt forces governments to print money, which inflates asset prices. This process mechanically enriches the asset-owning class while devaluing currency for wage earners, hollowing out the middle class into either the wealthy or the poor.

To fund deficits, the government prints money, causing inflation that devalues cash and wages. This acts as a hidden tax on the poor and middle class. Meanwhile, the wealthy, who own assets like stocks and real estate that appreciate with inflation, are protected and see their wealth grow, widening the economic divide.

The growing wealth gap is a direct function of government fiscal policy. The deficit spending machine systematically converts the gap between tax revenue and spending into asset appreciation. This process steals wealth from the middle class via inflation and transfers it to asset owners, creating the K-shaped economy.

The core problem for the middle class is a direct chain reaction: national debt leads to money printing (inflation), which forces people to own assets to preserve wealth. Since only 10% of Americans own 93% of assets, the rest are left behind with devalued cash and stagnant wages.

Fiscal irresponsibility forces money printing, devaluing the dollar. This inflates asset prices, enriching the few who own assets (like stocks and real estate) while impoverishing the majority who live on income. This widening wealth gap fuels the populist anger and social division that manifests as civil unrest.

The focus on "the wealthy not paying their fair share" distracts from the primary mechanism eroding middle-class wealth: government deficit spending. This necessitates money printing, which devalues the savings of ordinary people and drives up asset prices, benefiting asset owners at the expense of savers.
