Yup it’s really the clear solution but when the ultra rich control the government then it won’t happen.

We really need to tax the mega rich. I compiled this list of numbers after the President speech last night, it’s kinda wild:
$ 99,000 - National Median Income is less than $100 thousand. $ 1,000,000 - 1 Million Dollars. $ 485,000,000 - Cut Funds to International Relations and whatever. $ 1,000,000,000 - 1 Billion Dollars. There are over 400 Billionaires in America. $ 22,000,000,000 - Cut Funds to American Social Serivces through HHS (Human & Health Services). $ 244,000,000,000 - Elon Musks Net Worth. $ 1,620,000,000,000 - 1 Trillion Dollars - Meta (Facebooks) Corporate Net Worth. $19,900,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2017 (Obama to Trump) $27,800,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2021 (Trump to Biden) $36,000,000,000,000 - The U.S. Deficit in Jan 2025 (Biden to Trump)

Maybe, but if we convince enough people to leave their homes, maybe we can be loud enough to call for change…

There are like 760 billionaires last i checked. If we redistributed half the wealth of the top 1% every American would get $69,000 and those rich bastards would still have on average $5,000,000 each.
