While millions of Americans suffered, got sick, died, lost their jobs. Billionaires/Millionaires profited during a pandemic. https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/venessawong/2020-pandemic-inequality-rich

Member when Wealth Tax was on the table, before right wing dems all quit at once before progressives had decided on Sanders vs Warren?

The system is 100% operating as designed. Y’all should probs fix that.

Am I wrong here, or is all it would really take is for the ultra-wealthy to just pay their F**king taxes?

931 000 000 000 / 20 000 000 = 46 550 right? Wouldn't it be nice if that wealth went towards salaries instead of stockholders.

That’s around 3k for every person in America. And they’re still billionaires.

If I just keep working hard. Put in long hours, I too will be rich one day. /s

common mistake. You have to work smart, not hard.

More importantly, the job creator class has delivered exactly ZERO FUCKING SOLUTIONS. Even Amazon delivery costs underwritten by USPS.

U want civil war? Because thisbisbhownubget a civil war. Wealth disparity IS the major cause of civil war. Good luck w that.

A large number of the people with the guns are the ones VOTING IN FAVOR of the billionaires.

They could give everyone in the US $10,000 each and still be richer than they were before the pandemic.

That's what I did.

Just cut the wealth of rich people to lets say one billion per lifetime. Distribute their exceeding wealth and fund things for humanity 1/2
betatestedyourgirlfriend
Give people reaching one billion a statue of themself with the writing "Congrats on winning capitalism" so they can wank on it. 2/2
poochyena
how exactly do you cut the wealth of rich people?
EconomySwordfish4
Just seize their wealth.
poochyena
what good does seizing a yacht or painting provide, exactly?

Taxation
poochyena
how do you tax wealth? Current tax is based on money, not wealth
Alvatore
Change the tax code to reflect taxation by wealth instead of by money. We change the tax code every four years as it is, and other 1/2
Alvatore
countries tax wealth instead of just money; change the tax code to look more like theirs. And close ALL the loopholes. For corpos too. 2/2
poochyena
I'm asking HOW you tax wealth. Do you even understand what wealth is?
