@GhostOnTheHalfShell
I found this para an interesting summary… albeit usual depressing ending
(the rest of the article is about American billionaires’ “giving pledges” - now out of fashion, apparently):
“Wealth last concentrated at such levels during the original Gilded Age, the 1890s through the early 1900s, and the correction didn’t come from philanthropists. It came from trust-busting, the federal income tax, the estate tax, and eventually the New Deal. It arrived as policy that was driven by political pressure too powerful to be ignored. The institutions that forced that correction — a functional Congress, a free press, an empowered regulatory state — look considerably different today.”

A State of the Union address admission reveals a plan to replace progressive income taxes with tariffs—a regressive shift that would raise prices and burden working families.

#ElonMusk epitomizes #greed destroying society at every level from cities to planet. #BillieEilish is brave and caring for highlighting. perhaps different adjectives and nouns, but gets the message across. #Greed and associated #wealthconcentration is the problem driving all of our big problems!

My favorite part is when @dkthomp.bsky.social is asked about critiques of #WealthConcentration he goes straight to "not all #corporations are bad." Dude: what about rapacious #capitalists hoarding wealth? Surely we can all agree that's bad!! @podsaveamerica.crooked.com @waleedshahid.bsky.social

Paul Krugman raises urgent questions about rising inequality in America in "Understanding Inequality, Part II." He argues that since 1980, wealth has increasingly concentrated among the top 1%, significantly impacting politics. While globalization and tech changes are often blamed, Krugman highlights a decline in worker power as the primary reason behind these disparities. Discover more about the power dynamics and union importance in his insightful analysis here: https://paulkrugman.substack.com/p/understanding-inequality-part-ii #Inequality #WorkerPower #EconomicFragmentation #PoliticalInfluence #WealthConcentration #Unions #TechFortunes

Secondly, any form of supplying public infrastructure through "public private partnerships" or equivalent scams – introduced by #Conservatives under John Major, popularised by #Labour under Tony Blair and Gordon Brown, and slavishly followed by the #SNP in years since – is equally a deliberate policy choice to transfer wealth from citizens to investors – and usually an effective choice to transfer wealth from your own economy to #TaxHavens
