@StephenMoore In 1989 the bottom half of households had $317B in wealth, the top 0.00001% (just 20 households) has $88B. By 2026 the bottom half had lost wealth down to $313 billion, and the weathiest 20 ADDED OVER $3 TRILLION. Half the country lost wealth, 20 people increased theirs by 4,445%
@Leonard1326708@PeterSchiff Yeah, um, most of those frauds were caught and charged under the Biden admin. Meanwhile Republicans elect people like Senator Rick Scott, who literally oversaw the largest Medicare fraud case in history at the time. Instead of sending him to prison, you sent him to Washington. π€·
@PeterSchiff I mean we just start by ending this dumbass war, removing the illegal Trump tariffs, and reinstituting the healthcare subsidies. That alone will bring costs down immediately. π€·
@PeterSchiff No idiot, because if we raise wages and stop wasting so much money on things like a broken privatized for-profit healthcare system, we'll both be earning more and receiving more. If you raise middle class wages, you also raise the amount of tax revenue without raising tax rates.
@PeterSchiff The people want government to stop putting more money into the pockets of those that need it the least, the super wealthy people, for absolutely no proven returns. We've watched rich people pay less and less while getting more and more in return, while the rest of us suffer.
@TheLaurenChen Because there are over 140 million voters in America, and Trump sucks so bad, that that many turned out for a midterm election just to vote against him. π
