A 2B year stipend machine
Maintaining the royal lifestyle reportedly costs ~$2B annually. Stipends range from $800/month to $270k/month—so these princes grow up with armies of staff built to anticipate every need. #economics #wealthgap #royalty #saudiarabia #lifestyle

Same old trickle-down tax cuts for the very wealthiest while most Americans pay more. Thank you @itep.org for your work making it clear. #taxes #wealthgap

The first proposal for a US #PublicSchool system was published on #ThisDayInHistory in 1791 during George Washington's first term. #RobertCoram was motivated by a need to close the #WealthGap, as no representative form of government will work if power and wealth are concentrated.

In one frame, the same sunlight warms rest and survival. A quiet portrait of inequality. #Streetphotography #monochrome #blackandwhite #germany #inequality #SocialReality #photography #urbanlife #germany #canon #VisualStorytelling #WealthGap #TwoRealities #SocialInequality

While we fight our culture wars, the oligarchy is solidifying power and stealing yet more from the working class

They want to expand the wealth gap so more Americans are poor & die out. They are working towards two classes ultra rich & poor with no middle class. The GOP talks a lot about what it means to be american but are completely ok with killing americans.

Line graph titled Wealth of Top 0.1% Has Soared, While Bottom 50% Stagnates showing total household wealth in 2024 USD trillions from 1989 to 2024; an orange line for the top 0.1% rises sharply after 2009, peaks around 2021, dips slightly, then rises again, reaching $42.0 trillion in 2024; a blue line for the bottom 50% remains nearly flat with minimal growth, at $3.0 trillion in 2024; the top 0.1% therefore hold about 14× the wealth of the bottom 50%; source Federal Reserve Distributional Financial Accounts.
This is America. Don’t catch you slippin’ now.
Top 0.1% = $42T. Bottom 50% = $3T.
14× more than 173M people.
Share if you think that’s not okay.

About time. Yet antisocial big tech/PayPal mafia power hungry white male billionaires still want global control and more wealth. They support Trump's misogynistic, bigoted and racist brand of authoritarianism.

What if any of our political leaders actually called the billionaire's bluff and said you pay the taxes or go ahead, leave - but you can't sell here anymore. If only we had the power to control capitalism... This week we look at the K-Shaped Economy and the AI bubble

As you know, ownership of equities is highly skewed. The top 10% of households own roughly 87% to 93% of all stocks, while the bottom 50% own only about 1% #WealthGap #TaxTheRich

"GREED!"
Like we do, Matthew sees an absence of rising tide in the Wealth Gap.
Trickledown Economics is a water falls, but a drought if unseen.
Less than 1% holds 96% of the World's wealth hostage.

Housing segregation wasn't simply about individual preference. It was structured through federal mortgage policy. When we discuss the racial wealth gap, we are discussing decisions made in Washington nearly a century ago. #Redlining #HousingPolicy #WealthGap
Stop the robber barrons. We need some Robinhood action. Trickledown economics always was a floodgate up of workers' limited $'s.

Stripe IPO made the founders $20B+. Early engineer with 0.1% after 4 years? ~$200M pre-tax, ~$100M after. Sounds great until you realize: you built the product, they got 200x more. This is the system working exactly as designed.

CORRECTION: Bondi yells about rich and power-grabbing kleptocrats and Trump-friendly oligarchs creating a wider chasm between the “haves” and “have-nots.” Some are perhaps becoming wealthier from insider trading and information coming from within the house.
