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.”

Why so low? At this rate we will not be able to eliminate poverty.

We need to repeal the 2017 tax cut (put backthe middle class ones), get rid of corporate subsidies, plus cut the defense budget etc. (Hi Anna!)

Hi Marianne! But all these things can be undone at anytime by any administration. And honestly it feels so exhausting to think about having to keep coming up against this. Why not something like a resource based economy?
