Making money is a good thing, not a bad thing. The problem in America isn't that some people make good money; it's that far too many people never get a chance to cuz they're locked into a system that keeps them constantly in survival mode with little chance of breaking out of it.

making money while exploiting workers, animals, and the environment isn't a good thing. Capitalism must be obliterated. #NoBillionaires

No Ism is fail safe. Social and economic systems need to function like silicon. They need to be flexible and support each other. The US nearly got there in the fifties and sixties until the war destroyed the economy. Utopia does not exist as problems will always need to be solved

There is nothing wrong with wealth as long as everyone else is at least comfortable. There is a way to make this work. See the math... thefoundationforabetterecono…

See the Math

How a payment tax could replace all our other taxes, reduce your personal tax burden, balance the budget, pay off the national debt, and provide new benefits we can't afford today.

The problem is their wages are being stolen by their employers. And Their taxes are being diverted to the said, same employers. Whichever way you look at it, the wealth is being transferred upwards & it's a vicious cycle!
