Joe XVI — Hive

The above is but a rough sketch of what happened in France; there was also an internal struggle between the bourgeoisie who became part of the nobility and traditional nobility and many more factors in a revolutionary struggle that lasted more than a decade, saw several attempts at counter revolution and was influenced by enlightenment ideals. But the main thread remains as follows: the rich became richer, the poor were taxed while the rich weren't, the poor had no political power, the government was increasingly unpopular, and the gap between rich and poor grew wider and wider. Now you tell me, is Joe Biden, after the failed presidencies of Bush, Obama and Trump, not in a similar situation as Louis XVI? Is his failure to meaningfully increase taxes on the rich, raise the federal minimum wage and his refusal to even consider universal healthcare, all overwhelmingly popular among the "commoners", enough to inspire a modern day "storming of the Bastille"? Only 25 billionaires in America have the same wealth as the bottom 50 percent of America's population, and they hold all of the political power. They don't want a minimum wage raise, they don't want universal healthcare and they don't want to be taxed; so Biden does as Louis XVI did...

Dear @zyx066 , I have read your articles. It is interesting!
Your arguments are interesting and empathetic. By the way, I think the situation in France in the 18th century and the United States in the present day is different.

The French Bourbon dynasty had long fought overseas wars, so the country's finances were in bankruptcy.
So, the Bourbon dynasty collapsed into a revolution because it levied excessive taxes on its citizens.

On the other hand, the present United States dominates the world economy. The United States is overwhelmingly superior in economic power to the extent that France cannot be compared.

The United States is incomparable to France, which is a part of Europe, because the United States is the hegemonic ruler of the entire new continent.

This can be understood by looking at the fact that the United States is a continent and France is part of Europe.
