This week, Jeff Bezos saw his wealth increase by approximately $12 billion due to a surge in Amazon's stock value. This substantial growth in wealth highlights the significant fortunes amassed by some of America's billionaires. The idea of implementing a wealth tax has been a topic of discussion in various circles. Advocates argue that such a tax could help address economic inequality and fund essential social programs. They point to the vast wealth accumulated by some individuals and argue that they can afford to contribute more to society. However, opponents of a wealth tax raise concerns about its potential impact on investment, economic growth, and capital allocation. They suggest that it might discourage investment and hinder job creation, potentially leading to adverse effects on the economy. As with any policy proposal, there are differing opinions on the effectiveness and consequences of a wealth tax. The debate continues, and policymakers consider a range of options to address income and wealth disparities in the country while also fostering economic growth and prosperity.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 2020: 366-to-1 CEO-to-worker pay ratio now: 399-to-1 Is it really any mystery why thousands of workers across multiple industries have been on strike?

Biden's major investments in manufacturing and infrastructure represent a shift in the structure of the U.S. economy. Rather than relying on tax cuts and trickle-down nonsense, he understands that investment in working people is the key to economic growth. This is a big deal.

BREAKING: President Joe Biden gets some shockingly bad news ahead of the critical 2024 election — but the great news is that all of us can easily do something right now to fix the problem right. If you care about the future of America, you need to take a second and stop scrolling... According to a new poll, a stunning 7 out of 10 Americans have heard little or nothing about the historic Inflation Reduction Act a year after President Biden signed it. This revelation is particularly shocking when one considers the fact that the IRA is indisputably one of the greatest achievements of any modern president and the cornerstone of the highly successful Bidenomics approach to the economy. Only 27% of Americans know a great deal or a good deal about it. 71% know little or nothing. Crucially, many Americans do not realize that the IRA is a monumental climate initiative, meaning it tackles the defining existential crisis of our age. It provides tax credits to buy heat pumps, manufacture solar panels and wind panels, and boosts electric vehicle consumption. The legislation has also lowered insulin, expanded Medicare for lifesaving vaccines, brought billions of dollars in investments in, created tens of thousands of jobs, and much more. The worst part? Only 39% of Americans say they support the IRA overall. We can change that by spreading awareness! Tell your friends, post on social media, and share posts you see about the Inflation Reduction Act. We must get the word out!

Ohio will vote in Nov. on a ballot measure to protect the right to abortion. Republicans know they will lose, so they're trying to change the rules. If Issue 1 passes on Tuesday, ballot measures will need to win by 60% instead of just 50%. They're trying to rig the system.
