The single largest form of theft in America is wage theft. $50 billion a year are stolen from American workers.
If a billionaire amasses their wealth by underpaying their full-time workers so severely that they must rely on food assistance and government programs to survive, then no, that wealth was not earned by one individual - it was a wealth transfer subsidized by underpaid American workers and the public who get stuck with the bill for large corporations free-riding off our systems.
The point is less about individual morality. It’s more about how our current economic reality of shattering inequality rewards screwing over workers and exploiting essential systems at scale.
We’re talking monopoly power. Rent-seeking. Wage theft. Profiteering. Stock buybacks. Destabilizing housing markets. Companies using SNAP/EBT to underwrite their wages. Massive government subsidies or contracts to corporations following lobbying and dark money in politics with little to no oversight or accountability.
Some people get enraged that I draw attention to this. That’s on them. Let them call me shrill, dumb, inexperienced, girly, uneducated - these folks will say anything to distract from or undercut the truth that working people are getting screwed, and giving people a fair shake means we must have a grown conversation about reigning in abuse of power.

AOC: “There’s a certain level of wealth and accumulation that is unearned. You can’t earn a billion dollars. You just can’t earn that. You can get market power, you can break rules, you can abuse labor laws, you can pay people less than what they’re worth, but you can’t earn that”

🚨 BREAKING: The House just voted to KEEP FUNDING NED, an NGO called "National Endowment for Democracy," defeating an amendment pushed by Elon Musk, Mike Benz, Rep. Eli Crane and others
81 REPUBLICANS joined Democrats. Final vote: 127-291.
Trump tried to defund NED, but was stopped
Eli Crane describes NED as a "contributor to global censorship campaigns and domestic propaganda"
Unreal. Two good measures were defeated in the House today.

@KimDotcom It won't punish anyone but the country. Why would you do that to yourself and the rest of us?

@ScottBevins4 @ThomasSowell So what happened, we were all children once?

I'm not proud to be white. I'm white. It's a fact. It's not something that I got to choose. The separations of race is a social construct. Watch children of all races playing together. They don't care what anyone's race is. They just want to play with their friends. It's the adults that screw them all up.
