The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Corporate Dems are active participants in this and are beholden to the same oligarchs as the Republicans.
Say Yes to Drugs & Taxing the Rich!
The reality is that most social norms, like wealth hoarding, and claiming it as "success", are addictions of abusive emotional children.
The only healthy progress forward is sustainable parity for all life.

Always has been and always will be.
How many times do we have to show people this?

Which all require violence and oppression and a top down system.
If only there were so many more of us than there were extremely wealthy sociopaths ….
If only
25 cents was extra taxed on MILK.
IT would pay for the damages of the oilcrisis, and make a buffer for a future economic collaps.
Well the 25c, are still to this day on the MILK!
We even foget it is a temporary measure put in place back then. People forget it is even on it!
"The Tariff Act of 1789 was the second bill signed by President George Washington imposing a tariff of about 5% on nearly all imports, with a few exceptions."
So not a few things, nearly all.
Increasing social complexity creates greater capacity for boundless stupidity and a higher risk that some of us will be hoodwinked by charismatic imbeciles.
For decades...

Then 2 full time jobs and you can get a 30 year mortgage
Now, it's win the lottery and you can finally buy a house
Since 1980 and before.
“An imbalance between rich and poor is the oldest and most fatal ailment of all republics.”
Humans don’t learn.
Population of the US in 2024: ~350 million
That's ~$229k per person over 50 years, which is ~$4.5k a year.
Now, that might not sound like a lot, but to a working class family, that's an extra $380 a month. That's groceries, that's child care, etc ->
what is your solution?
shall we consult chairman Mao?
what percentage of tax dollars is paid and generated by the wealthy?
is it 40%of all tax revenue?
And bring back the Fairness Doctrine.
move to China
i should be good looking and wealthy
i have a great portfolio. how can i become better looking?
it's called capitalism
even you can get rich
the wealthy create jobs; like Elon Musk, remember him?
if you over tax people you lose incentive to be successful
It is more like the rain cycle.

They've become the feature not the bug
because things sadly don't move as fast as many of us really wish they would and some folks are stubborn.
...but facts don't matter in an alternative reality.
So, thanks for pointing out the facts. They don't matter.
Let's convert anger into effective action. What works are boycotts (ask Elmo). Wall Street calls it "demand destruction".
Here are the targets - get together and organize a different boycott each week, PLEASE?

They need to go out and spend their money & have a good time & leave the rest of us alone ffs
The idea that rich people would get richer & just decide to let more money go to their workers out of the goodness of their hearts is the most ridiculous thing any idiot could fall for.
1 trillion = 1,000 billions
1 billion = 1,000 millions
1 million = 10 hundred-thousands
If we can wrap our brains around 1 million, then we can wrap our brains around one-million millions (1,000,000 millions) being equal to 1 trillion
Just when i entered the workforce
No wonder I'm not better off than my parents
THEY ARE THE ONES THAT SENT THE JOBS OVERSEAS!
Their supporters continue to eat it up.
Not redistribution.
It’s generations of suppression coming up under stress. Something is going to blow up. And there are few relief values to use
The Reagan Administration endorsed the Lafner Curve for its tax polices.
