Fake news. This type of liberal agenda nonsense is going to have the rich people in this country packing up and taking their businesses with them to a another country who will appreciate their job openings and economic opportunity.
You mean we won't get to be their slaves, how sad. Too bad we aren't smart enough to get by without them
Admittedly I just skimmed the article, but it is on the world wide distribution of wealth.

No I mean we won’t have jobs. Too bad we aren’t smart enough to get by without them indeed. Look at all the clowns who can’t even find jobs right now.
I love statements like this. It's like "wealth" is a pool that's just sitting there, and whomever gets to it first can help themselves and take as much as they want, and if they take "too much" they're bad and terrible because there isn't enough left for everyone else.
A statement like that shows a complete lack of understanding of what wealth is, where it comes from, and how human beings actually interact with each other in the real world instead of on a piece of paper.

No one's arguing it's a fixed pie.
The problem is that the pie is expanding quite nicely but average middle class & working class people have not seen much of that expansion. You have to be in the top 10-12% to really feel the benefits. Top 20-30% are at least keeping up with inflation or a little bit ahead.
Everyone else is treading water or worse, losing ground to selective inflation of critical services & assets (health care, education, housing in metros where jobs are).
The problem is systemic. It's not that the 1% is "taking" anything... it's that the gains in wealth just flow to them whether they want it or not.
How did they "CREATE IT". If they went out in the fields and grew a crop fine. If they "CREATED" it by exploiting the poor they are parasites
How did they exploit the poor? You don’t become Bill Gates or Jeff Bezos by making a chain of rent to own furniture stores
