The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks. The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks. It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.
Stock buybacks were illegal until Reagan made them legal in 1982. Just about the same time, wages stopped rising for most Americans. Does that sound like a coincidence to you? 🤔

@jm_mcgrath I've been saying all election that Chow doesn't need to raise the tax rates if homes are assessed properly. Updating the assessment date from 2016 to 2021 and bringing assessments with 5% of sale prices would almost double tax revenue.

As P&G jacks up prices to pad its profit margins at your expense, the company is simultaneously spending $8 BILLION on stock buybacks. How many more examples of blatant greed do we need to hear about before we finally address the corporate price gouging that's driving inflation?
