    Behind Italy’s beauty (and parmesan) is a radical tradition of cooperatives. In some areas, they make up nearly a fifth of the GDP. We went to Emilia-Romagna, one of the richest regions in the country, to investigate how Italy’s workers built a more democratic economy...

  9. How #billionaires took over #American #politics
    Concentration of #wealth among #richest is unlike anything in history — and so is billionaires’ influence in politics.
    Since 2000, political giving by wealthiest 100 Americans to federal elections has gone up 140 times, well outpacing growing costs of campaigns, a Washington Post analysis found. Roughly 1 in every 13 dollars spent in #election2024 was donated by a handful of country’s richest people.

  12. Our focus is to acquire cash-flowing assets. Prioritize the assets column. It means investing in financial education and actively managing our own investments. Gaining financial experience comes from hands-on involvement, preventing us from relying on others to invest our money.

  13. #Inflation quashed household #income gains in 2024, census finds
    
The #richest Americans’ income rose, & #women & #Black people lost ground, the data found.

    Most Americans’ household income remained steady last year, in part because inflation counteracted gains in income, the US Census Bureau said Tuesday.
    
But there were some notable exceptions: The richest 10% of households saw their income rise, & women & Black people lost ground, the census data shows.

  15. Positive cash flow provides freedom and reduces financial stress. When our company controls the asset, money continues to flow in. Cash flow or passive income is taxed less than capital gains from asset sales. True financial independence occurs when our assets make us cash flow.

  17. True financial freedom and wealth come from us being business owners and inside investors, not employees and self-employed with high salaries. Affluent business owners and inside investors thrive from passive income(positive cash flow) and capital gains income, not earned income.

  18. Mastering our financial statements is crucial for building true wealth and freedom. Without understanding it, people struggle in a debt-driven world. Money has become a form of currency rather than real money. We can invest like the government, which prints debt(money) to invest.

  23. Investing is having a winning plan with a profitable exit strategy. As we become inside investors, we gain financial knowledge through experience. We learn from mistakes and grow. With experience, our skills, knowledge, and confidence improve, along with our wealth.

  24. A quotation from Bernard Levin

       Almost all of us want to be richer than we are, even if we are very rich indeed. To be sure, there are exceptions; saints, ascetics, those who travel light and will not add even the weight of a wallet, a few whose material ambitions are fully satisfied and who therefore truly want nothing further. But the rest of us want more than we have, and the specially thoughtful sometimes wonder whether there could ever come a time when we didn’t.
       The crucial question, though, leaving out of consideration the exempted categories, is: what are we willing to do to increase our wealth?

    Bernard Levin (1928-2004) British journalist, critic, broadcaster, satirist
    Essay (1989-03-23), “Do You Seriously Want to Be Swindled?” The Times, London

  25. The tax code may lead to frustration from those lacking financial literacy. Instead of remaining uninformed, we must become financially knowledgeable. Identify ways to contribute to job creation and economic growth. Then, we will benefit from the incentives found in the tax code.

  26. Tax advantages are rewarded to a business owner and an inside investor who builds the economy and provides jobs. The issue "Is it fair to tax the wealthy?" becomes less relevant in light of this, and more “Are workers or employees creating jobs and boosting the economy? No.

    "Homoploutic elite is composed of people who are simultaneously among the #richest #capitalists and best paid workers; that is resistant to shocks in labor and capital markets and thus able to maintain its position."

    These folks tend to be incrementalists when it comes to problems such as #climatechange which are urgent for the vast majority who are hurting/dying right now.

  29. We're not heading into a lethal #environmental #apocalypse because there's too many of us. We're all going to die because the #richest 10% of us cannot stop spewing #carbon into the #air as a #consequence of their own #entertainment and opulent #lifestyles.
