Not a single person, no media outlet, no research economist has been able to misunderstand what Ed Wolf is referring to except you who keep talking about fund managers. Its funny how you can misunderstand something so basic and have no source at all except your imagination.

Those two economists are not "very left wing". Anyone can find economists saying anything to support their political agenda. There are thousands upon thousands who disagree that FDR sucked.

No, I don't. Wolff is known for conflating "control" with "own." They're not the same.

G. William Domhoff PhD, USCS:

"In fact, of course, the top 20% control 85% of the wealth."

"With those caveats in mind, we can still safely say that the top 10% of the world's adults control about 85% of global household wealth"

You are the only one who is confused about him using control as meaning own, no business paper, research economist or anyone else is confused about it, and you are quoting another economist who also is in agreement with Wolff. Give us a source that says you are right, please and that Wolff refers to what you are saying.

No, you are. Everyone else knows the difference between "own" and "control" and aren't as easily duped by intentionally manipulative deception.

Again... $27 trillion in investments owned by American workers/retirees says it all.

So every economist, every research paper, every business paper, every financial magazine, has been duped by Wolff, and you, with no sources, claim you have found that Wolff is manipulating everyone by using control as in "having ownership of"? Are you serious?

Everyone? No. People like you? Yes.

$27 trillion in investments owned by American workers/retirees says it all.

Then which business paper, financial magazine or research economist claim that he is referring to "manage" instead of own when talking about "control" like you say he does? You give no sources to your claim at all. Its utterly absurd.

The ones who correctly report "control" instead of "own." And I already cited one from the PhD at USCS.

Come on, Mike... You're flat out wrong about so many things, including who's funding the Urban Institute. It very clearly states who's donated how much in their Financials Report, yet you insist on posting your false claims.

You cited this guy, a man who is in total agreement with Wolff:

https://whorulesamerica.ucsc.edu/power/wealth.html

You are deeply confused. Not a single person misunderstand what Wolff is referring to except you.
