Over the last 48 years there has been a $50T transfer of wealth from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. This has not been merely a transfer of wealth. It has been a transfer of hope, of opportunity, and in many cases even the possibility of a better life. A corrupt alliance of corporate and government power has hijacked our government, destroyed our middle class, eroded our democracy and is robbing us of a livable future. We don’t need to “improve” that system. We need to repudiate it. “You can have large amounts of money concentrated in the hands of a very few, or you can have democracy. You cannot have both.” - Louis Brandeis We need to cut the cord that ties us to an aberrational era of American history. We need a revolution at the ballot box. Marianne2024.com

This transfer accelerates every time there is a Democrat president.

47. The #NUMBER is #47. Can we have #Feminist Leaders that make any feeble attempt to FIX THOSE INSULTING #s? Stop saying 48 "anything." It's #Misogyny. Not 48 hours. Not 48 Days. Not 48 years. 47. As in Forty-#SEVEN. Can you #LeadByExample? Thank you

Yes, imagine the world had that wealth remained with the 90%, what their lives would have been like, what business, art, innovation our society would have seen. A theft of civilization.

While there is zero chance I’m voting for you, you are quite correct!

You're saying that 48 years ago, the bottom 90% of the US had $50,000,000,000,000? Weird. federalreserve.gov/releases/… Because a quick google search says the total wealth in the 80s wasn't even $25 trillion... so... not sure how they transferred something that... didn't exist...
