The 1% wealthiest people, globally, equals 80 million people. Collectively, they consume 10 times the resources(carbon emissions as a proxy for all resources) of the other 99%.
Correcting inequities in the distribution of food, shelter, health care, education, etc we could offer a decent life to everyone,(including the 1%) but we have to “bell that cat”.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin relocated to Nevada before California's wealth tax cutoff, then spent $58M on ballot measures through "Building a Better California" to influence policy in a state where he no longer lives or pays taxes. The initiative system created to limit corporate political influence now serves as a tool for remote governance by concentrated wealth.

Google co-founder Sergey Brin moved to a $42M Nevada mansion before California's wealth tax cutoff, then spent $58M through "Building a Better California" to influence state politics from outside. The pattern echoes early 1900s concerns about external control over state governance - when concentrated wealth drafts elections rather than just influencing them.

I saw a meme post on Facebook suggesting that no one earns a billion dollars except by wage theft, that no one works a billion times harder than other hardworking people who make ordinary wages. That seems a fair claim. I wrote this next paragraph in response, kind of as a spur of the moment thought, but it's something I want to spend more time thinking about:

I used to think that one solution to this was the practice of asking CEOs to not make more than some fixed multiple of their lowest-paid employee. But now I see the goal is to not employ anyone either. A lot of the benefits for corporations are justified on the idea that they employ people, so helping them helps people. Now that this assumption is on a path to being increasingly violated, we need to reconsider our special treatment of corporations as well.

3,100 people have more than $18 trillion.
