The Hook
The middle class has been bribed into defending a broken system.
Chuck Marvin argues that America’s division isn’t rooted in culture or capitalism — it’s a parasitic 70,000-page tax code that hands out “tax crumbs” the most marginalized will never see, turning citizens into guards of the elite.
