@DGI I totally agree with the sought result. Yet, perhaps #redistribution is not the most politically appealing concept. Sounds like "taking away money from those who earned it" to most people. If we keep this in mind, why not take the problem at the root: #hyperwealth only concetrates in the hands of the wealthy when they rip of their employees and suppliers. Rather than for redistribution, I would call for just compensation for the creators of wealth (the workers) aka #fairness

Please be very aware that the emerging capitulation by Senate Democrats over the #republicanShutdown maintains the current plan to eliminate medical care for millions of Americans first in December of this year when the state-administered Affordable Care budgeted programs are set to expire without a renewal action, or right after the midterm elections next fall, when Medicaid itself (whatever it's called in your state) will cease to be funded under the new federal budget. Combined with approved, huge, doubledigit-percentage increases to private healthcare premiums, most Americans and every community will be directly affected, and the national economy isn't likely to collapse; it is certain to do so. Hospitals will be closing. If you're not okay with it then get on the phone now, seriously.

very high #tax rates.

This is not just about #redistribution within nations. #Piketty stresses the need for new class solidarities that cut across borders. Convincing working and middle classes in rich countries that the #elite will finally be held accountable can also help support people in the #GlobalSouth who are already suffering the worst #climate damages.

The gap between rich and poor #CarbonFootprints is now wider than at any time since the nineteenth century.
