The current big beautiful bill will increase income inequality which is the subject of Thomas Piketty’s Income in the 21st Century. Racism is economic. You need a underclass of service workers. What better insurance than to permanently demote whole sectors of society as is the case with The Untouchables in India. Make no mistake, the latest Trump windfall will bankrupt the poor and disenfranchised even more than they already are. Which is great if you’re a trillionaire and need to hire the “help.” Zohran Mamdani’s political program which offers free transportation and protection from rent increases, threatens to disenfranchise poverty—a political goal which is necessary, unless you wish to maintain the status quo and have a not so smoothly running society of haves and have-nots.
