    So?

    Republicans have let the rich destroy American society.

    There is a huge amount of wealth, but it is more and more concentrated
    in the hands of the few.

    <https://www.epi.org/publication/charting-wage-stagnation/>

    Look at figure 2:

    <https://www.epi.org/files/2013/ib388-figurea.jpg>

    From 1948 to 1973, increases in wages tracked increases in productivity
    nearly perfectly.

    From 1973 to 2013, productivity increased by 74.4%, but wages only
    increased by...

    ...9.2%.

    And that's the overall average. Those living on minimum wage have
    actually LOST ground.

    Look at Figure 4 (I can't link it, because it's not just an image).

    If the minimum wage had kept pace with increases in productivity, it
    would now be well over $20/hr.

    Desperate people turn to crime.

    Nope.

    But they are the ones who are buying politicians and judges...

    ...so that they can pay less and less of the cost of society.
