1/ The main conduit of wealth inequality is unfair tax policy. For the last 40 years we’ve been transferring wealth into the hands of a few through increasingly reduced taxes for top earners as well as corporate subsidies and financial deregulation.

2/ With the 2017 $2 Trillion tax cut, 83 cents of every dollar went to the very richest people. The idea that any of that money is “trickling down” and “lifting all boats” is like a sick joke now; it has left and is leaving tens of millions of people without even a life vest.

Over the last 40 years trickle down economics has destroyed the middle class and created the greatest wealth inequality since 1929.

What about the transference of manufacturing overseas and the devastation of the working class? Will tax hikes on top earners fix this, or is it an opportunity gap?

Right now there are tax BONUSES for some companies when they transfer overseas, believe it or not. There should be a tax on those who leave, obviously.

We need to recognize the human suffering that has emerged from an amoral economic system.

Those who pay the most taxes ie the top 10% of earners also pay the most in payroll to those who don't earn as much as they do.

Yes ... we're up side down ... people think this is how it is ... ... so this is the way it will always be ... it takes consciousness ... and the ability to see through the fog of sleep ... to see the Truth ... that's why we need people like Marianne Williamson!
