The United States is the richest country in the history of the world. But who benefits from those riches?
Consider: the richest 10% of Americans hold nearly 70% of the nation’s wealth – while the bottom 50% hold just 3%.
See the problem?

USA GDP $24 TRILLION
USA deficit $1.5 TRILLION
This is the biggest bankruptcy in the history of the World. USA is technically bankrupt.
It’s crazy CEOs make millions/billons off the backs of their workers who they pay the least amount possible to do the jobs.
No one working full time should be unable to take care of their basic needs when CEOs are making a fucking fortune.
I hate to break it to you, but they really don't.
HEY, EVERYONE, LOOK AT THOSE PEOPLE OVER THERE! THEY ARE LITERALLY STEALING ALL YOUR SHIT.
Everyone:
You can right now redistribute all the money everybody has equal amount
And in a short while it will be right back where it is now.
Does #AIPAC own you, too?

And to think that Donald Trump doesn't give a damn.

Almost as bad as Trump.

One extra problem: The 10%'s wealth is stale money !
A living wage globally so you can't use cheap foreign labor as a reason to deny others a living minimum wage.
The US does NOT have an INCOME problem.
It is the richest nation on earth.
The US has a DISTRIBUTION problem.
To stop you thinking about that too much, Trump wants you to think the problem is some foreigner has the job of putting screws in iphones.
If we had the same 90-10 split in the income distribution as we did in 1975, everyone in the bottom 90% would earn an extra $23,000 every year. How many of our financial ills disappear with just that fix?!
Couldn't agree more.

Scotland needs out of this unequal union ASAP.

Tax the richs.
He argued the more capitalism grows the more people take advantage of it, and the more exploited the proletariat will be.
Until it collapses.
Are we there yet?
I read a few days ago that every member of Trump’s cabinet has a net worth more than $500 million. They have no idea how most of us live.
What is the relationship between a nation's wealth & the welfare of its citizens?
I offer you the chance to be an American or Danish, without knowing your social position. You choose.
All other sectors are being increasingly impoverished, their assets bought up over time by the super-rich who rent them back for large amounts.
Your longevity is getting worse,the only OECD country where this is happening. Most of the red states have economic markers worse than a lot of third world/developing countries
union buster too
and on top of that he would fall asleep during meetings it was reported
He was cognitively
declining
supposedly Nancy
ran the show
Reagan
implemented Milton Friedman's
Nobel Prize theory for economics in 1981
citizens shouldn't ask of their gov for money. companies should be wealthy to then "Trickle it down".
People wonder why we're different from developed countries
She was assertive and gave them input
as the point was made which was true
Hollywood types so astrology was something she believed in and implemented in their life
Imagine! if first Lady Jill Biden would've done the same
The rest is true.
They said she was over protective and was involved with the people around him
that she was "assertive"
I imagine they heard from her quite a bit
They heard her out
didn't argue I imagine
possibly explained to her
the strstigic plans
in pedestrian terms
because she certainly had her husband's ear
so that carries some factor they probably wisely
considered
I still wonder if you'll bother to vote.
Need to consider Mali under the rule of Mansa Musa and also the Roman Empire (accept not technically a country) under the rule of Augustus Caesar. Both of which would make America a minnow in comparison - allowing for inflation.
Why isn’t my Senator/Representative calling for impeachment?
When the president tramples the Constitution like a Nazi thug, the Congress’ job is to impeach.
We need more moral courage.

It always has been so it always will be so.
The poor who worship Trump just think rich people are smarter. We have to see the gears behind the curtains—to mix some metaphors.
AFT...
Those not belonging to but defending them to the point of plunging whole nations into chaos are.
It never really caught on.
Well yes, it's called small business, where the true ideas and Entrepeneur's come from, the ' mom/pop shops ' that invest in their communities and grow with it, and the ones tariffs hurt most.
If America does not prioritise stopping the genocide, then it absolutely deserves to collapse.

These are in the form of US Treasury bonds. so technically if all of these countries dump or sell it off...the United States will be bankrupt.

The US comprises of roughly 350Million people. That’s around 4,5% of the worlds population. What is the overall American share from the worlds wealth? 30,40, 50%?
Guess that’s great enough.
And what new ideas do you have for this particular moment? What steps can the non-top percent take to effect actual change?
Not true, richest by GDP per capita is Luxembourg.
thank you🖖
$36,700,000,000,000
$36 trillion seven hundred billion
HOW is this the "richest country in the history of the world?"
Does anybody see the problem with this narrative, or is it just me?!
