The surge in corporate profit rates that began during COVID has never ended - a greater share of corporate revenue is profits than ever before, and we are taxing those profits less than ever. No wonder CEO pay has hit another record high!

UBI isn’t charity as some claim . It’s restitution.
Since the 1970s, productivity has risen sharply while real wages stagnated. The gap became profits, executive pay, and shareholder returns.
