  • Yes, but you have to look at the bigger picture: most ultra-wealthy people do not keep the bulk of their wealth in cash. Instead, their wealth is largely invested in assets such as shares, which can rise in value over time. When they need cash, they can often borrow against those assets rather than sell them

    They have people whose job it is to shift the wealth around according to the current situation. They are unlikely to suffer with the rest of us.

    Take Corona: the super rich got much wealthier while we and the economy went down.






  • Yes, the ‘trickle down’ theory allows politicians all over the world to steal from the normal people and give to the rich in the name of a good economy. It’s wrong, hurting the economy and most of the people, but the rich doners love it.

    It’s still being followed by the majority of right wing politicians.

    Sure, I doubt these politicians would help me and you without this policy, but at least they would have to be a bit more honest about their goals.


  • It’s this insane ‘Atlas Shrugged’ mentality, calling them the ‘parasite class’ is, in fact, much more honest.

    By exploiting the working class, they steal the profit that should have been given to those who actually created the wealth.

    They don’t invent things, they don’t create things, they don’t support people. They just take.

    What do you think is the purpose of denying poor people health care, implementing hostile architecture, and eroding social projects? This has been ongoing for quite a while now.

    Seriously, wishing for something the GOP is already working on with all they got. 🙄
