This is from a Forbes article posted October 2021.
“For the 40th annual Forbes 400 list of the wealthiest Americans, the members’ collective fortune rose a massive 40% over the last year to $4.5 trillion, up from $3.2 trillion. Nearly all are richer than they were a year ago. The top 20 on the list are together worth a stunning $1.8 trillion.”
This is maddening. I know this is only one piece to the problem puzzle of our country. Normal people struggle so much, all the time, for years. Why can’t the rich just be a little less..rich?
There are so many things that could change for America that would help out our collective society. I can’t speak for other countries, but I know at my core that we could be doing so much better in so many ways. I’m not trying to make it seem like the rich are the soul problem, as there are so many.
I didn’t want to make this too long. But I just wanted to bring awareness to the inequality. Im making less money this year, due to gig work not being as lucrative because more people are back to working again. We all deserve a 10-20% increase.
