In the time you spend watching this video, Jeff Bezos will earn more than what the majority of full-time American workers earn in a year.

Say it with me: Tax the rich.

Curious what it’ll take for a reporter to say to his face, “I think you’re lying—lying to me & the American public.”

They keep trying to trap him in a lie, like he’ll be forced to admit it. But he’s shameless, incoherent, & has the memory of a koi fish. You have to bluntly call it lying to his face

Yes, yes, we are all shocked that the man who has never fulfilled a contract in good faith, and publicly cheated on three wives, each of whom received pledges of eternal fidelity, has no intention of upholding his oath of office.

Let’s cover it like it’s news, there’s nothing else worth covering.

What a line from Warren Buffett this morning:

“Be kind, and the world is better off. I'm not sure that the world will be better off if I'm richer."

Jamie Dimon says the *best case* scenario for the US is now a recession.

Cool, cool. From the best economy in the world to a self-inflicted recession in 4 months.

Gotta be some kind of record.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:

In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.

In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.

This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.

That has got to change.
