Piketty already addressed that. It's the dining force behind the growing inequality.

Work Reform

A place to discuss positive changes that can make work more equitable, and to vent about current practices. We are NOT against work; we just want the fruits of our labor to be recognized better.
Our Philosophies:
- All workers must be paid a living wage for their labor.
- Income inequality is the main cause of lower living standards.
- Workers must join together and fight back for what is rightfully theirs.
- We must not be divided and conquered. Workers gain the most when they focus on unifying issues.
Our Goals
- Higher wages for underpaid workers.
- Better worker representation, including but not limited to unions.
- Better and fewer working hours.
- Stimulating a massive wave of worker organizing in the United States and beyond.
- Organizing and supporting political causes and campaigns that put workers first.

I'm ok with (realistic) inherited wealth IF the people who initially amassed that wealth were taxed fairly. But there should be a realistic limit to what can be inherited.
Billionaires shouldn't exist. Hell, anything over 10 million pounds is too much these days.
Whaaaaaat, nooo, they totally earned that money you guys, c'mon 🙄
“Hereditary meritocracy”
but that is ok because i read ayn rand and if they didn't actually deserved it they would have squandered it all and she is a really smart and totally honest woman who wouldnt go on social security and if she did her situation is different you dont get it
Don't forget how billionaires are noble and don't give their wealth to their children unless their children could earn it themselves
Don't you guys get it! My vibes based "source? I made it the fuck up" knowledge is way more trust worthy than statistics.
And I STILL read electoralist posts in 🧵🌐!
At this point we might actually need a second Huey Long.
Wealth creation doesn’t say UBS.
