1/ There are 614 U.S. billionaires- 400 richest together have near $3.4 *trillion*. Yet we haven’t heard one multi-billionaire yet say “I’ll throw in $1 billion for a stimulus fund if some of my friends will also give $1 billion to compensate for the greed & mendacity of Congress

2/ Perhaps the “opioid rich” Sackler family could start - given how “sorry” they are and all? Then maybe “no federal taxes” Jeff Bezos would like to say a few words? It’s amazing in America today how easily we neglect the powerless and protect the powerful.

Exactly. They’re swimming in money. Why no offers of help for the drowning.

If the Democratic est. was committed to fighting for the working class, you would see Barack Obama, Joe Biden, Kamala Harris, and Nancy Pelosi relentlessly attacking Republicans on refusing $1,200 in direct payments. The fact that they’re silent tells you all you need to know.

It is amazing the level of pure greed that the .000001% have for the rest of society. Many of them have made multiple times that amount in 2020 alone. They will never miss that amount, but they are cold and cruel just like @SpeakerPelosi @senatemajldr and @SenRonJohnson

#USWEALTHCARE System exists only to further the objectives of the uber wealthy. We the people were shoved aside decades ago. United Corporations and Wealthy Americans proclaim, of the wealthy, by the wealthy, and for the wealthy. The remaining 99% can scramble over the crumbs

They became billionaires be cause most of them don't pay tax. They now own many politicians have taken over government policy internationally. Anyone who believes that this is not a class power struggle is naive or doesn't want to know the facts.

Agreed. Sickening the disparity and inequality in America. With a lack of empathy from these people. Selfishness.

You expect someone with a billion dollars to give a billion dollars? How many of those are multi billionaires who can easily liquidate $1b worth of assets without severe complications to themselves and companies ? How many have wealth primarily in corporate stocks?

They were mighty quiet during the Great Recession, too. Probably too busy buying up real estate at rock bottom prices.
