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

Its a question of how the money was transferred Marianne...willingly or through nefarious means? If the lower 90 percent purchased goods or services from the upper 1 percent that is the way Capitalism works. If the upper 1 percent has a great product which the lower 90 percent use, like, and sometimes reacquire...It works for all. Now the added benefit is the lower 90 percent see that the upper 1 percent becoming rich by having a great service or product, it spurs invention by driven people from the 90 percent class to become the upper 1 percent. Some succeed, some fail but the true entrepreneurs will retry until they lose hope or find success. That is the American Way!

This has resulted in destroyed marriages, unaliving, addiction relapse, parents and children being separated. They’ve had no mercy for us, none is owed to them.

The 80% of Americans that aren't thriving ... need a Champion ... and ... MARIANNE WILLIAMSON ... is that CHAMPION!!!!

Socialism and Communism concentrate that wealth and power into even fewer hands and the majority of the people get to bare the brunt of it. You and others like you spout off against Capitalism but at least everyone has the opportunity to succeed, not just the few elitists.

When “they say” @marwilliamson is not serious - ask yourself why - how convenient would it be for the corrupt corporatists to distract you from the profound & radical #BigTruth of her political agenda - think they might prefer things status quo? #disruptthesystem

Made up statistics. The bottom 1% have not lost $50T. They've never even had that much.
