The reason the top 10% of income earners pay more than half of all tax revenue is NOT because they are taxed more than ever.
Their tax rate has been cut FIVE times in the last 25 years.
They are paying more because their INCOME has increased astronomically, where the income of the bottom half has

How to get rid of Citizens United?
We can do away with it without a new Supreme Court. Nor do we need a constitutional amendment.
There’s a far simpler way. Let me explain: https://robertreich.substack.com/p/how-to-get-rid-of-citizens-united

The military service, which falls under the Department of Homeland Security, has drafted a new policy that classifies such items “potentially divisive.”

This is by far the most corrupt administration in American history.
It makes what happened in those ten years after the Berlin Wall came down in post-Soviet countries seem lame. They have taken what Putin does, and run with it.

President Trump’s pardon of Changpeng Zhao came shortly after Zhao’s company, Binance, helped catapult the Trump family’s cryptocurrency firm, World Liberty Financial, into international recognition. The firm is a major source of the Trump family's fortune. 60 Minutes reports, Sunday. 60Minutes.com

Keep coming back to Summers’ annoyance that this female mentee he’s trying to sleep with “takes her presentation very seriously.” To men like this—to a lot of men—women’s intellectual or professional ambition is an irritating presumption that they condescend to tolerate.
The emails have Summers reporting to Epstein about his attempts to date a Harvard economics student & to hit on her during a seminar she was giving.

All of the productivity benefits from AI are going to go to billionaires.
Even worse AI will take all your jobs and then you won't be paid anything either.
You should be asking why do we need billionaires if AI does ALL the work.
