We have spent trillions of dollars on wars & tax cuts for the wealthy…on health insurance subsidies & coronavirus relief. It is in our power to wipe out poverty. It simply isn’t among our priorities. What the Rich Don’t Want to Admit About the Poor nytimes.com/2021/06/13/opi…

Racial wealth gap explained really well...through our experience playing Monopoly. Read this. “No one thing alone is going to check the box to close the wealth gap, but the combination of all these things together will make real progress.” nytimes.com/2021/04/09/bus…
