America’s ultra-rich are sitting on $8.5 trillion in untaxed capital gains.
Even on money that is taxed, the rich are making out like bandits.
In 41 states, the top 1% pay lower tax rates than everyone else.
When I say the system is rigged for the wealthy, this is what I mean.
This.
And remember in 2016 when Bernie Sanders was attacked in headlines by the MSM and by Republicans for having TWO separate plans to break up the big banks?
He said he would do it differently depending on who had control of the Senate. They still said he was not serious unless he had one single, strong plan.
Of course, it was fine that Trump had no plan and never even tried to get it done.
Seems only a handful of us voters have memories that last beyond 12 hours.
