Gary, a working class kid became a successful trader is now pointing out wealth inequality and trying to get people to save us from the super rich.
Gary’s a good egg.
Because working people don’t have lobbyists.
Or security
Because fuck you.
We are not the “We” in this videos title.
Yes we are. Who did the majority recently for in most countries? It sure as shit ain’t for parties that want to tax the rich.
Im not taxing anyone. You do you.
Working people stopped working together. Unions used to fight for the masses but that all died when people started listening to conservative lies and giving them power. Right around the 1970’s.
Pedons got somehow fooled to forget their class rank lol
It seems to me they stopped encouraging less hours of work and thus a larger membership for bookoo overtime. They should have been pushing for a 35 hour work week in the 70’s.
If you’re rich and invested in MSCI World ETF (literally the most generic mixture of stocks available) 10 years ago, on Mar 28, 2015, the stocks practically doubled (+ 107%) since then. That makes an average annual increase by 7.5%, considering how exponential growth works. (Formula is: (2.07^(1/10) - 1)*100%)

This means that rich people’s assets literally proliferate by 7.5% annually, without lifting a finger. That means, it’s not their “hard earned fruits” or their “hard work”. They’re literally lazying around and their wealth increases by that amount.
I think it’s fair to tax that. Skim the unfair proliferation of wealth. Introduce a wealth tax, make billionaires pay 7.5% of their total wealth as an annual tax.
You don’t have to be rich to invest in MSCI All world.

Cant compete if you cant invest In private companies and sell the day they go public, its a strat that never fails? Never seen a private comoany not shoot up the day they go public and then drop heavily within that month
Tax wealth, not work. I like that.
Super obvious but billionaires decided who gets taxed what
Not if we stop believing “oh but the immigrants” and go out to vote for parties that want to tax the rich, the rich ain’t gonna decide shit.
And the normie still can’t figure this out!
He wouldn’t want to be tazed either if he was rich 🤡
This.
