Now I need to do the math on space karen/ henery ford 2.0 aka Mr my autism makes me prone to outbursts of fascist apologia.

I did the math recently and if you took the assets of the wealthiest 1% and divided only half of it amongst the remaining 336.3 million Americans it would be a check of approximately 68,000 for every man woman and child and those bloated blood sucking leaches would still have an average remainder of just under 6 million dollars each.

In the 50's and 60's, the CEOs made 10-15x as much as the average worker, rather than something like 300x as much.

A strong middle class makes for a strong economy, because more money is flowing. Inflation can be managed with proper fiscal discipline.

Why the fuck should anyone be worth $100 billion dollars plus?

I have zero arguments with any of that and can't imagine why you think I would.
