The One Percent have been on welfare starting with Ronald Reagan’s presidency. They have gotten tax breaks, sent factories overseas, put their money in tax havens and stifled labor unions.
In 2020, when regular people’s net worth diminished, sometimes by a bunch, the One Percent increased their wealth by 3.9 trillion dollars. That is trillion with a ‘’t’’.
We are looking at the greatest wealth discrepancy in human history.
President Biden should present his income tax reform plan next week and not wait until 2025 when he may or may not be in the White House. Make rich individuals and major corporations pay income tax like they did when Eisenhower was president. As a child in those days, I saw prosperous times.
Fund the Internal Revenue Service. Give them the resources to examine millionaires’ returns which take more time than looking at a carpenter or teacher.
Make it illegal to have bank accounts identified by numbers only.
DT voters will finally realize who has been picking their pockets. The One Percent have funded PR firms, think tank and hate organizations to go after minorities, gays and immigrants. They have bought the congressmen and Supreme Court justices that they needed. The One Percent have done an excellent job fooling everybody. The minorities, gays and immigrants get even fewer crumbs that fall off the table than middle class and poor whites receive.
To look at how the One Percent have performed their invisible con job, I recommend Peter S. Goodman’s book. Warning: It can be depressive. You can read a long segment for free by looking it up on Amazon.
I ask President Biden to reduce our nuclear arsenal from 5,000 to 1,000. I ask him to reduce our 750 overseas military bases to 100.
Since a nuclear exchange between India and Pakistan is enough to start nuclear winter, 1,000 warheads are enough to deter aggression.
DT and the Republicans will deplore all this as Communism or woke. Let them defend the greatest wealth discrepancy in human history.
President Biden or the Democratic candidate can win if President Biden takes bold action now.
DT can watch the unfolding drama in his jail cell, starting in September, 2024.
