Or at least fucking tax them. jesus.
As for the topic, when 1% of the population hold half or more wealth of the country they need to pay more in either taxes or wages. Id perfer wages to all the people they employee. Or taxes so welfare can.
Want a tax break? makes sure your employee isnt on welfare.
If you make 3500 per hour, yet only pay your employee 7.50 then we should tax you at 90%.
If you make 3500/hr and your employees make 35/hr TAX BREAK!

Do i really need to quote FDR on Living wage again?

Just TWELVE Americans own more assets than the bottom 160 million citizens. That's about $762 billion dollars either way.

Yes, it's an opinion piece- supported by meticulously researched FACTS which lead the writer, NYU professor and author David Cay Johnston, and the reader to some interesting conclusions about how our country is really run.
