No. It's an exaggeration. But the truth is still obscene:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Distribution_of_wealth
I do not understand why not a single politician has talked about THIS. Not in the US, not in Europe, I don't hear any politicians about this. If they do, they're whispering because this should be top 5 news next to climate change every day.
Bernie Sanders has entered the chat
Bernie Sanders says this on a regular basis!
At least in the US, we saw what the "left" party did to the last guy who tried it.
Twice.
Well that's fun.
Poor defined as $10k-100k is pretty..odd? I don't know that I'd define people making $100k as poor.
It's people who have 100k of total property, not annual salary
Sure. But I think it's still a worthwhile evaluation. 100k is not what it used to be by any means unless you are in a low col area.
TIL I count as poor. Fuck. :'(
