According to economist Richard Wolff, the 62 richest people in the world (most of whom are American) own more wealth than the bottom half of the world’s population.

If you doubled the bottom half of the world populations wealth, it would last them what? Like a week?

We need a Federal Minimum Profit-sharing Wage where certain % is set for min wage because increasing flat-rate wages just increases inflation. % wages will give all their fair share of prices. Also, sm biz can’t keep competing against price-monopolizing big biz.

Stole. No honest amount of individual labor can produce such disparity. There has to be a system set up in which the very few exploit and extract wealth from the vast majority for this to be the dystopian reality we're currently living.

No matter how disparaging those facts seem in 2023, how much worse would those numbers look if you were a Negro the WORST AMERICAN TRAGEDY to date that has never even been attempted to be atoned for. Let's talk about TANGIBLE SOLUTIONS ecfr.gov/current/title-36/ch…

What do you know about the history, ownership, and regulation of the Federal Reserve? I think if you study it you'll find that the central banks are largely responsible for the inequality we see in the world today. Understanding this dynamic would help you considerably w/ independent types. It's been a shock for me to learn what has really gone on w/ our financial system. It feels like the big secret and nothing changes til it does. I now find it difficult to take any candidate seriously who does not have a basic understanding of the central banking fractional reserve monetary system.
