Not until there's a dramatic shift in domestic U.S. policy that lifts public education and public health to the same levels as privatized education and health. So that probably means never. Historically, there has been only one way that the edicts imposed by rich ruling classes are overturned so that the welfare and prosperity of the general public can be addressed. Revolution.

Are you referring to the Kennedys and the Rockefellers or the Gores and the Edwards families?
But seriously, this is America. What wealth are we missing? Do you think because someone is worth a lot on paper that he has all his wealth locked up in a vault somewhere?
There are people at the top of the economic food chain. So what? This is not a zero sum game. In a capitalist society, more wealth is generated every day not just transferred from one person to another.
Let's look at Bill Gates. Do you think there is a big pile of money in his house or something? He owns lots and lots of Microsoft stock and I am sure his money is invested elsewhere, too. That invested money is then used by other companies to finance their businesses and people to finance their homes etc. that creates more jobs, more consumers etc. Every year the GDP is higher. Don't count other peoples' money. Get in on it and start building your own wealth.
Another Socialist propaganda item shot down by yours truly!

If you want socialism move to a socialist country...whoops that means either Sweden or Cuba not too many countries left to choose from. Maybe that tells you something. The rest of the world realized it is a failed philosophy.

It has been that way for over two centuries. No point in doing it now.
