International, Killing Pandemic? The Rich Are Getting Richer


Important article more Americans need to see and read, from Forbes.


"Since the start of the pandemic, collective U.S. billionaire wealth has surged by more than $584 billion, while $6.5 trillion in household wealth has disappeared. That's according to an Institute for Policy Studies and Americans for Tax Fairness analysis published on Friday which stated that the U.S. billionaire class saw its wealth climb 20% between March 18 and June 17 with 29 new billionaires added to the total. Using Forbes data, the analysis found that the total net worth of the 643 U.S. billionaires climbed from $2.9 trillion to $3.5 trillion. During the same period, 45.5 million Americans filed for unemployment."

But tax the wealthy at a higher rate?

Is the Wealth of the Rich Merely Trickling Down to Us?

Fuggedaboudit!

Thanks, Mr. President!
Thanks Republicans!
