The richest 1% of people now own nearly 45% of all wealth, while 44% of humanity are living below the World Bank poverty line of $6.85 per day, per Oxfam.
@EricForestSen,@SenMockler The federal gov needs to start seriously working on how we can implement a guaranteed Basic Income. Please help get #S233 to the House.

I emailed my MP to vote YES on Bill #C223 for Basic Income and send it to Committee. We can lift millions out of poverty and ensure everyone lives with dignity. Will you join me?

If we had not allowed inequality to grow so extreme in the US in the decades following the 1970s, we'd all be earning around $1400 a month more than we are now. You should see Universal Basic Income as your missing wage/salary that instead went to make the richest 1% even richer.
