It would be interesting to see how many Americans are represented by $2.7T on the bottom of the curve. Just guessing but likely greater than 300 million.
Keep this in mind, Musk could give every American a billion dollars and still have 50-ish billion left over. Yes, I understand that Musk doesn't actually have that much cash on hand. I'm making the point that Musk and others like him have left us a future of economic stagnation.
Also pass around - Trump’s keen business sense is to enter sectors at their peak saturation. IE after everyone else has been there & consolidated or bailed.

Warren Buffett has long called for taxation of the 1%. He’s supported fair taxation (& eliminating loopholes) It would result in a fully funded government…no issue with funding social programs, child care, etc. If billionaires contributed 22-25% of their income in taxes, they’d remain billionaires.
But only on earned income, no? The problem is that there are so many ways to gain wealth that don’t involve a paycheck that are easy for the very wealthy to exploit and thereby avoid such taxes.
We definitely need a transaction tax on wall street. Even 1% on every transaction would go a long way towards balancing the federal budget. It would slow down the algorithms as well.
Thanks I want to know each one of these characters. Having a face next to their name saves time. I live in a paperdoll world and will have too dress them appropriately to their clown suits. I'll do that as I learn through researcing just who and what they want. Doing my best to voice correctly.
If they were decent people and not consumed by greed can you imagine the good they could do…but no they are addicts added to greed and power and have no intentions of solving world hunger or building more housing. Just more and more and more is all they know
Hell yeah! We’re in the throes of another monumental transfer of wealth (to the wealthy elite). Let’s also pay homage to the working & middle classes that co-signed the transfer. They ALL kissed the ring.
In my opinion elite equals Barron robbers, the republicans call elites anyone college educated or professors at universities. Nah elite to me are billionaires trying to be political.
They may have it all now but the best bit is - like the rest of us - they can’t take it with them!
Just bones in a box, or ashes in an urn.
Unlike us though, they will be remembered as the the arseholes they were!

All these “F’ers” want to take away Social Security,Medicare,the
Snap program to feed children, & the affordable care act! Don’t they have enough? Disgusting non humans!
They have already paid for their slice of the American pie🤣🤣 They do the godfather move because his followers are dumb and believe in fairy tale stories 😒 like the Civil War wasn’t fought to keep slavery. He’s the puppet 🙄 He dances for money!!
Well, what a coincidence. Our federal budget deficit is just over $2 trillion. Their $$$ would balance the budget and they’d still have billions left for walking around money.
I always note that Tesla could lose 90% of its stock value and still be overpriced relative to other automakers. At this point calling it a car company is misleading. It’s purely a meme stock.
But Trump is also ready to cut deals with all of them. For a billion “investment”, Trump will let them ignore whatever regulation- “break the law”, get whatever perk they want.
It is Sunday. Biden has nothing better to do than #DeclassifyTrump and his treasonous relationship with Putin so we can force the Congress to #ImpeachTrumpNow.

They buy-borrow-die to make sure they don't pay taxes...that benefit WE THE PEOPLE.
When I say that billionaires are the reason grandma can't get chemo or johnny can't afford braces, I fucking mean it.
Hybrid species, these wealthy elite republicans.
I think it’s a bug not a feature that we defer to the individuals that possess the most and criminalize those that have the least.
Here they are.
The rest can [redacted].

Raw.
Not 1.
We can save our Democracy if we all share the plan today. Make Biden side with us against Trump and Putin. Fight.
