There's some truth in the underlying point, but don't forget about the supercharged unemployment benefit that made a huge difference in people's lives while it lasted

I don’t hate billionaires; I just think they should be taxed fairly. It’s how we’ve lowered tax rates on the very highest earners over the last 40 yrs that has created our obscene income inequality, made so many billionaires & destroyed our middle class. It’s unjust & unAmerican.

So Amazon’s stock price has increased since the Pandemic and Jeff Bezos is bad? I don’t disagree that we as a country could do more to help our poor, but this continual diatribe against the rich is not changing anything. You don’t build someone up by knocking down someone else.

Thank the Democratic Governors for the shutdowns, they are single handedly killing off the middle class 😡
Replying to @marwilliamson
Billionaires grew their wealth because Democrat Gov's shut businesses down forcing customers to go to Walmart, Amazon, and other large globalist businesses for the goods they need. Massive transfer of wealth from "mom and pops" to some of the wealthiest corporations on earth.

Taxes are not the answer. Deregulate business to allow small business to compete with the big guys. There has been a huge wealth transfer this year to a small few and taxes are NOT the answer. Let small businesses compete!

This Covid thing is really skewing things. The stock market is not the economy. About 55% of the population is in peril. Some are doing gang busters. The Senate can rush through the confirmation of Judges but not take care of the "unimportant" people. Yet KY re-elcted Mitch.
