America's billionaires are now worth $4.8 trillion after increasing their wealth by $1.8 trillion during the pandemic. Meanwhile, millions of Americans are struggling to make ends meet. This is what a rigged economy looks like.
@RBReich It hurt that @MikeDeWine stopped the $300 weekly from the federal govt. I am working but not back to full time. Plus PUA overpayed me, and now PUA takes repayment from my $249 weekly benefit. This week I received $24 plus $259 from my job. #notenough
@RBReich We tax the rich to transfer the loot to the rich via public spending and subsidies. That's what a rigged economy looks like. Still people want to tax the rich.
@RBReich "If worker pay grew at the same rate as CEO pay over the last four decades, the average worker would make $737,000 today.(That's 1,322% growth)Just to give you a sense for how out-of-whack our pay system has become." --Dan Price
@RBReich And yet nobody in Congress does a damn thing about it
