$3.5 Trillion Is How Much Additional Wealth The 1% Will Amass This Year

[DanieRains]

But spending $3.5 Trillion over 10 years helping poor and powerless folks, and combating GLOBAL WARMING simply can't happen.

The lobbyists say no.

The billionaire owned media says no.

Does anyone here understand how totally effed up this country really is?

No, really?

1. Do you have a source for that stat?

Cuz, that would make a great meme.

3. The Powers That Be Do Not Let Wealth Amassment Numbers Out

For good reason.

For them.

I am looking at the last few years numbers, and who is profiting off inflation, and other factors.

I would bet that number is pretty close.

Welcome to math.

4. Oxfam Found 8 People Have As Much Wealth As Half The Human Race

You won't hear that on Fox, CNN, or MSNBC.

2. Get the big corporations to pay their share off taxes...

No business should get to do business here without paying their way.
They use our commons more than we do…pay up. They make profits off us citizens with their goods and services, we pay you…pay up.

Zero taxes paid…sorry can’t do business here. We citizens cannot get away without paying corporations for their goods and services…without paying we’ll have no items in our basket.

Make them pay. 3.5 trillion won’t make such a dent IF THEY PAID THEIR TAXES.

5. Bad, enraging for sure. But your bottom line suggests

you also have no idea how functional this country still is. Maybe give that a thought too as you eat a nice dinner tonight and relax in comfort and security afterward before heading off to a warm, snuggly bed.

Oh, and a biggie? Take a glance down at Pelosi's statement. "This country" has the ability built right in to un-fuck itself and fuck the greedy. We've done it before, wouldn't even have to break new ground.

6. But The 1% Owns The Brainwashing Media Apparatus

And people are driven to vote against their own families.

By lies, propaganda, and distortion.

By hate, fear, and loathing.

I call it herding.

Even Franklin could see this day coming.

Millions can't even put a Biden flag on their lawn because of death threats.

8. And yet... Sleep well. Don't get carried away by scary polemics.
