"You know who is funding the increase, particularly lately? Retail investors. 401ks," Cuban wrote in his recent post.
"The better question is, why are we not giving incentives to companies to require them to give shares in their companies to all employees, at the same percentage of cash earnings as the CEO?"

Wow... only $33 trillion?
No wonder Trumpublicans supported cutting their taxes with the largest transfer of wealth upwards in our history!
Good job, Trump!

Original report...

Of course, if we still had Gov of by and for the People rather than for the Corporations who now own the politicians... we wouldn't have this problem.
Which is why campaign finance reform is key to solving many problems.

The Trump admin looks to be transferring the wealth of the Country to the billionaires that seem to make up a large group within the Trump administration.
Why?

Interesting how the national debt is 38 trillion and they have 33 trillion.
How much was transferred to them?

Because Congress doesn't work for anyone under the top 1%
That much has be evident with this shut down which is all about protecting the 1% from paying taxes and taking away health insurance and medicaid to pay for it.

Maybe the farmers and federal workers can get jobs as butlers, footmen and maids in the homes of the new landed gentry we have here in America. It is a service economy.

Does anyone think it's a coincidence that billionaire wealth seems to track closely to the national debt?
And then there's this: The New Cost of American Inequality: $80 Trillion

Any magats on here who can explain why we needed to add trillions to the debt in order to give tax cuts to the rich?

The trolls are too busy bleating AIPAC talking points demonizing Palestinians, AOC, and Zohran Mamdani.
Worst. Trolls. Ever.

Who said this and who were they talking to?
"no one's standard of living will change, nothing will fundamentally change." He went on: "I need you very badly. I hope if I win this nomination, I won't let you down."

Joe Biden to a group of billionaires while he was running for nomination.

Republicans keep cutting taxes on billionaires, Turds blames Biden.
Mamdani wants to raise taxes on wealthy New Yorkers, Turds cries it's gonna destroy NYC.
Turds is a disingenuous, lousy troll.

" Joe Biden to a group of billionaires while he was running for nomination."
So, you were against it so much you've remembered it to this day, but ...
... now it's okay, because Trump?!?

"no one's standard of living will change, nothing will fundamentally change."
Right AFTER he told them income inequality would have to be addressed.
Interesting, how you left out the important part.

Almost any whine we ever hear about Dems is muted because Trump has managed to be SO much worse in almost every case.
No Dem has ever tried to stop the peaceful transfer of power in this country with an attack on the Capitol, nor tried to rig the election with Fake State Ballots.
And Project 25 to give Billionaires complete control of the country has no similar comparison from Dems.
I could go on....

Now explain to the class how you can address income inequality and promise Billionaires that nothing will change as far as their standard of living goes.
In case you don't know, it means the country goes into more debt by creating money out of thin air to address income inequality. All the while begging the 1% to fund him and promising them they will not be effected.

the country goes into more debt
Donald Trump single handedly increased the debt by 25% during his first term.
So you voted for him to do even worse his second term.
"But Biden!"
Shove off, moron.

Those poor billionaires need tax cuts while the rest of us are using too much healthcare! We gotta cut back healthcare and food assistance before the greedy poor bleed the billionaires dry!

Turds fully supports Trump sending $40 billion taxpayer dollars to Argentina to support election interference.

Better than currently creating money out of thin air to fund the American Gestapo and the rest of Trump's unnecessary spending.

This might be a good time to point out, under the Trump Code, a waitress making $25K per year will save about twenty bucks a week.
Meanwhile, the average billionaire will save over a million dollars per week.

What's with all the factual Real World talk, Danforth?
Real World is now owned by Trump World Cult Media, where Billionaires made him King, and he owes them.
