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.

Give us 5-10 bullet points that explain to a fifth grader how you would improve the lives of average Americans. Pointing out problems is great but people buy authenticity and a clearly stated vision.

As workers, people accept their wage. That's between employer/employee. No need for govt intervention. As customers, people buy luxuries on Amazon, etc. That's between customer/vendor. No need for govt intervention. It's not 'theft'. It's business. Stay out of it.
