Bridgewater founder Ray Dalio says the US is on the 'brink of a terrible civil war' because of wealth gaps and political partisanship

Dalio has warned that the US could fall into a kind of civil war if political and wealth gaps aren't addressed.

He has often warned that a lack of opportunity, income divides, and under-investment in education could cause irreversible damage. "I've studied the last 500 years of history and cycles: large wealth gaps with large values gaps at the same time that there's a lot of debt and there's an economic downturn produces conflict and vulnerability," he told CNN's Poppy Harlow in an interview aired last month.

Dalio also likened the recent exodus of CEOs and companies from business hubs like New York and San Francisco to Florida and Texas as a sort of "civil war." "We're seeing a form of civil war: people are leaving to go from one place to another, partially for taxes, but also partially for other reasons," he said in December. "The worst alternative is that one side or another says, 'This isn't my country anymore. This isn't my population.'""Good words and spirit aren't enough," he wrote. "People will have to agree on both how to grow the pie and how to divide it well.

Just throw the insurrectionists into a cell in Gitmo. End of story.

How about billionaires stop funding political parties? The average guy working in Subway, making ends meet, isn’t the problem here.

Okay, then do something about it, Ray.
