Over the last 48 years $50 TRILLION has gone from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. Crony capitalism basically runs this country. It is a system of institutionalized theft.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 40 years has shifted $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax. This has been the agenda all along.

Socialism and taxes are institutionalized theft. The bottom 90% spend back into the economy what they wish to consume, creating a multiplier effect. Where would you like it to land? Russia? China? India? What is the alternative to trickle-down economics?

There was no wealth “redistribution” from the poor to wealthy, because most of that wealth never existed in the hands of the poor. It was created out of thin air through market speculation and/or government money printing.

So stop buying Microsoft, Apple, Tesla, Amazon, Kroger, Walmart, Samsung, Ford, GM, McDonalds, Starbucks products and everything else in between. Buy from Etsy.

You need to understand that the federal government controls A) the amount of dollar in the economy & B) where/how those dollars are spent. Everything re: wealth redistribution is a function of fiscal policy. HINT: It all benefits the corporate and wealthy donors to @DNC & @GOP
