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.

Capitalism itself is inherently neutral. We have a tradition in America of pushing back against overreach by capitalism: labor unions, child labor laws, anti-trust laws etc. But in 1980 they started deregulating capitalism & deregulating banks, turning it into an unfettered force

Thank goodness a rich lady in my town forked out thousand$ per week & countless hours to feed homeless vets when the pandemic started! By the 2nd month our guys looked & felt fantastic, & now they’re housed in a new Vets Village 🇺🇸✊🏼🇺🇸
