The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 45 years has shifted $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans.

The wealth doesn’t “trickle down.” It gushes up.

@rbreich whenever someone reports earnings of over a million, they're either profiteering from their own employees or they're profiteering from their customers. Or both. I'm yet to be convinced there's any other explanation. If a business does insanely well, why are the staff not treated like priority shareholders and properly compensated?
