If Bernie's wealth tax on the top 0.1% was in place from '82-'18, Bloomberg would've had $11.3 billion in wealth instead of $51.8 billion The $40.5 billion in taxes from Bloomberg could've ended homelessness with billions to spare for education & childcare for the 99%

Taxes serve one purpose only: to keep the people down.

They don't finance ANYTHING AT ALL.

The problem is, and has always been, and will remain until it's eliminated, the Federal Reserve.

Any post about problems with the economy that doesn't talk about the Fed's central role in these deserves a big fat F and should be completely disregarded.

Now I'm not saying I approve of the super-rich. I don't, simply because their wealth is stolen from their workers, oppressed into wages that are much lower than the value of their work.

The problem is the rich stealing from the poor, but taxes are not the solution.
