Tens of millions are poor in America so .001% of our population can be very very rich, for no other reason than that their money floods Washington. Nothing you don’t already know but somehow it always seems to me to bear repeating. #WealthTax

But the rich are pandering to social justice causes... Isn't that enough? Most of us liberals are fine with them as long as they show token support for social justice. The news is telling me that they are good ppl as long as they show token support.

The point of capitalism is to concentrate as much wealth into as few of hands as possible. A wealth tax will never pass, as it would mean congress would have to raise the taxes on themselves, families and most importantly their owners.

The US Financialized Capitalism collapses periodically. 2008 and 2020 are examples. The problem is our corrupt politicians bailout failed companies. Professor Wolff is a good resource. Professor Richard Wolff: Capitalism is Socialism for the Rich youtube.com/GpATCLnUHlU
