Tying retirement to the stock market is insidious class warfare

[โ€“] ProxyTheAwesome@hexbear.net 5 points 2 years ago

It really is. This, plus the creation of a large homeowner class, is the most effective thing America has ever done against socialism in the US. Absolutely destroyed class solidarity by fabricating a new "middle class" that somehow everyone is part of. Tying the majority of the population's life to the imaginary line will make a lot of people fight and die to protect line go up.
