As you can see. there is a need. As you can see some people have all the money. As you can see the only solution is to tax those at the top fairly (at the highest possible rate) and spend that in rebuilding our nation… Consider it as an equity loan given to the wealthy, whose payment has now come due…..

1%ers are Masters – of Greed.
California is up in flames; forests are disappearing around the world; agricultural rivers and fields are drying up. Famine, water shortages, diseases, extreme events, mass migrations are in the making. CO2, CH4 and the earth’s temperatures are rising. The Arctic, Antarctic, Greenland, the world’s mountain top glaciers are melting; flooded coastal area losses will run in trillions; cites, towns and their services, transport, economies will be under water. The tipping points (thanks largely to 1%er fossil fueled denial) have been ignored and passed; runaway methane gas is actively seeping uncontrollably from bogs, hydrates, clathrates, ocean bottoms, at thousands of locations around the world. Which will make the world warmer, which will make the world warmer, which will make the world warmer…….
The threatened species – is us, the out of control superorganism that ignored
nature and thought it could take over the world.
The fatal human flaw – self destruction.
