Top 1 % of world’s population holds as much wealth as bottom 50 %, and 3 people in USA have as much wealth as bottom 50% here. Anyone rich or poor who thinks this is sustainable is kidding themselves. Addressing wealth inequality the great moral & economic challenge of our times.

Not true that that wealth is not being taken from others. Money has been routinely taken away from projects that help people thrive, to be spent instead on tax breaks and other benefits to the wealthiest among us.

Please give an example. As I see it salieies increased, bonuses were given, unemployment is at 3.9%. African American employment is at an all time low.

Salaries did not increase, the bonuses were already planned. The unemployment figures belie the human reality behind it. Many having to work 2 or even 3 jobs, or stuck in fast food jobs in which there is no opportunity for growth. The middle class tax cuts were good but temporary
