44 million Americans — including 13 million children — are food insecure. Meanwhile, America's 813 billionaires are now worth a combined $5.7 trillion. Our problem isn’t an issue of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding wealth inequality.
We need to come together as a nation, get over this idea that we need to be afraid of taxing the rich because we view ourselves as temporarily impoverished millionaires, and tax the rich.
I can’t promote this enough!
Greed is ugly.
And ever declining democracy. Maybe they’re linked?
Meanwhile republican politicians keep taking rights away from everyone. But it's just fantastic that their billionaires are raking in record profits. #ProLife#FamilyValues
It's the 'ever expanding' part of this that worries me. We already feel the influence of billionaire bucks in all three branches of our government. Soon, the plutocrats will tell us we can cut costs by eliminating the middle man, the government itself.
Well with their ability to eat fine foods they just better remember that the ultra poor will appreciate their fat marbling when the time comes.
