The #WealthGap isn’t just growing - it’s exploding. Wages stagnate while profits soar.

A few billionaires control more wealth than all the other people combined - and with that, billionaires control politics and who is in government!

#UBI doesn’t “punish success” - it ensures #everyone has a chance to succeed. Because no one should have to beg for basic survival in the richest era in history.

#HomeOwnership rates play a key role in the widening racial wealth gap. By 2021, 74% of white households owned homes vs. 43% of Black households, making equity gains uneven.

#petersinger asked "Would you save a drowning child at the small cost of getting your shirt wet?"

If your answer is yes, you should sacrifice small luxuries like eating out and redirect the savings to #charity .

A tough pill to swallow. But if true, a society that views donation to non-profits as just optional and praiseworthy is evil. It led to #wealthgap , #climatechange , #enshittification and #latestagecapitalism .

Do you agree?

The wealthiest cities in the U.S. are now almost 7x richer than the poorest regions, a disparity that has nearly doubled since 1960. New data reveals where wealth is most concentrated within communities, cities and states.

Four years from today, the #USA will have been weakened economically, socially, and diplomatically. We will be the laughingstock of civilized countries, who will be shocked at how far, and how fast, we’ve fallen.

American influence in world affairs will have virtually disappeared.

#Hate crimes will be at record levels. The #wealthGap between the 1% and the rest of us will have skyrocketed, as will the national debt and the trade deficit.

The world’s population of displaced people will have grown by tens of millions, as #Republicans slap one another on the back to congratulate themselves on having denied refuge to the poor, the hungry, the huddled masses yearning to be free.

At home, #women’s #healthcare will lie in tatters. The number of unwanted children and maternal deaths will rival those of the most backwards nations on Earth. Millions of citizens will be without #healthinsurance.

American children and adults will be dying in record numbers from previously eradicated diseases.

The Palo Alto school district in California spent about $7K more per student than the minimum required to achieve national benchmark test scores.

Maps tell the story of where this new wealth is most concentrated within communities, cities and states.

This post was so close to being perfect. Just replace "Tax billionaires" to "Abolish billionaires."

#Billionaires are about to dismantling the federal governmental institutions designed to protect the ordinary #Americans' employment, health, property, finances, safety, and other life-essentials. The aim is not "efficiency" as they claimed, but to decimate the #MiddleClass, so as to widen the #WealthGap of the top 1% from the mere middle class and to keep the masses so busy struggling just to live so as to have no time to think for themselves.

This is ironic—in a sad sort of way—given that this billionaire army rode on the backs of that very middle class, on their way to lay siege upon Washington, DC. Frightfully, the middle class just cannot get enough of this, it appears.

#wealthgap ?? More like a wealth chasm. Wealth gulf. Wealth “another word for a ludicrously large gap between two things”

Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told.

A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives.

'Trickle-down' economics was never real.

Expert Finds #Trump's #Tax Proposal Drains Money From 95% Of Households And Funnels It To The Top 5%, Widening #WealthGap

Former President #DonaldTrump's proposed #taxPlan has stirred up fresh controversy. A new analysis shows that it could provide substantial tax cuts for the nation’s wealthiest while burdening the rest with tax increases by 2026.

I'm not a Chris Cuomo fan by far, but man, is he making sense here!

"We are strangled by the money reality in our politics."

For the love of God America, wake up! You're not a democracy, you're an oligarchy, and the duopoly is in on it.
