Here’s a better one. The nations top 1% have incomes 500x more than the national average. Controlling 45% of the entire wealth here. https://twitter.com/fact/status/1247724346602328069
The fact is that the upper classes really are taking money from the poor in a very real & concrete way. The so-called trickle-down economy has never worked, despite the protestations of conservatives. Most extremely rich people don’t spend enough $ to stimulate the economy.
All they’re doing is saving or investing their money rather than spending it. This is a great financial practice for them, but it doesn’t promote wealth among the lower classes.
And let’s not forget.. It’s impossible to ignore the fact that roughly 11% of members of Congress are members of the financial elite.
Asking politicians to enact changes that would reduce the wealth of the upper classes is a conflict of interests. It’s little wonder that tax cuts for the wealthy are repeatedly enacted while the reverse is so rarely true. Remember who finds their campaigns.
Anyway, I’m off the toilet now. I hope after reading this thread you become more aware of the division of wealth among classes and as a result you now turn your anger and despair into activism.
