(12,505 posts)The snowball is taking off.
And who knows, the blowback may indeed transform the adoration of wealth and power so many have held onto into a recognition of the magnitude with which such accumulation of wealth in the hands of a few corrupts our entire society -- accumulation that must be ENDED with inheritance tax, wealth tax, progressive tax on income, all to fund a program that would benefit ALL. For example, Piketty's Inheritance for All.
As we reverse the flow of dollars from the hands of the many to the hands of the few, we must advocate for a tangible benefit for all. And I think Piketty's Inheritance for All is a tangible benefit that we need to start advocating for now. That would put us on the path to achieving it -- or something even better -- before the youth of today are our age.
