"The financial inequality in the modern day is as bad as it’s been since America’s Gilded Age when the titans of industry were the richest people to ever walk the Earth. Back then, people like John Rockefeller, Milton Hershey and Andrew Carnegie flexed their wealth by opening libraries, starting colleges or opening orphanages.
