I’ve spent time among the very very poor and I’ve spent time among the very very rich. The gap that exists there should not exist. Some have so much money they honestly don’t know what to do with it, and others have so little money they honestly don’t know what to do.

We need a #WealthTax: 2% on $50M and over, plus an additional 1% on billionaires. Everyone knows it. One of the wealthiest men I’ve ever known once said to me, “My taxes are so low it’s obscene.”

Yes, billion-dollar bonuses for some, while families are living on the street. It's not because that's the way is supposed to be. It's because that's what we're supposed to change.

WELL its nice to see someone like you have this awareness. Many years ago I saw the same thing working as a resi-garbageman just after x-mas in wealthy areas i would pull up to houses with 50 bags in front & in poor areas there was no difference! Disgusting example of materialism

A wealth cap is needed. $200 million/person, everything else is redistributed to those in need & the environment. We also need a maximum wage of $10 mil/year that’s tied to the lowest paid employee OR contractor. So CEO pay cannot exceed 50-60 times the lowest paid worker.
