A comment on Biden wins White House, vowing new direction for divided U.S.. Parent comment
Wealth has been redistributed already. $50 trillion has gone from the poorest 90% to the wealthiest 1%[1].
The one word is "gun". The wealthy don't need firearms to compel the rest of us to work for them. In fact, we beg them for jobs every day.
I want to help my fellow man, but I simply don't have the resources. They have all gone to the hands of 50 billionaires[2].
There is a way we can get them back. It doesn't require the point of a gun. It only requires better tax policy.
