When we start defining the 'bottom' as 80% of population, we know we are fully and comprehensively fu^ked. There is no middle class anymore. None possible. There is just a variant of an underclass sweeping across 8 out of 10 households in the US. #WealthInequality #MiddleClass #EconomicCrisis #US
About the travesty of "green colonialism". Worrying about climate change is a western luxury. If you want the rest of the world to care about global warming, first make everyone as rich as Greta Thunberg. /6 https://t.co/ve3RMrtY8H #GreenColonialism #ClimateJustice #WealthInequality #Nospecificcountrycodesarementionedinthetweet.

(TR) No, the rise in fuel prices and the accumulation of super profits in the pockets of a handful of ultra-rich individuals are not a fatality, but a choice tolerated and encouraged by the government. An unyielding government will prioritize the interests of the people over those...
(TR) In 2024, Nicolas Sarkozy told the sentencing judge that he received 14 million euros. How to explain that a retired president is as rich as football superstars? Why is no media talking about it?
The wealthy Matthieu Pigasse is completely in over his head: justifying anti-Semitism is difficult. The same goes for the excerpt about his very young partner with no experience or expertise that he has promoted to head of Combats... Supporting a sugar baby is expensive. (Original: Le richissime Matthieu Pigasse prend l'eau complètement : justifier l'antisémitisme est difficile. Pareil pour l'extrait sur sa très jeune compagne sans expérience ni expertise qu'il a promue à la tête de Combats...Entretenir une sugar baby, ça coûte cher.) #WealthInequality #AntiSemitism #SugarBaby #Therearenospecificcountrymentionsinthearticle.
The super rich escaped from the ship as soon as they saw the first symptoms of illness. They are being searched for because these, out of control, can indeed spread the infection. A true symbol of the current world: the infected ship and the attitudes surrounding the problem. (Original: Los superricos se escaparon del barco en cuanto vieron los primeros síntomas de enfermedad. Los están buscando porque estos, sin control, sí pueden contagiar. Todo un símbolo del mundo actual: el barco apestado y las actitudes en torno al problema. https://t.co/wsywHPUnHK) #WealthInequality #PublicHealth #SocialResponsibility #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthearticle.
Absolutely worth reading: Part-time workers are not lazy - but clever: Working more hardly pays off. Because: The middle class is being plundered - the rich and the "poor," on the other hand, are the winners of redistribution policy. (Original: Unbedingt lesenswert: Teilzeit-Arbeitnehmer sind nicht faul - sondern klug: Mehrarbeit lohnt kaum. Denn: Die Mittelschicht wird ausgeplündert - Reiche und "Arme" dagegen sind die Gewinner der Umverteilungspolitik. https://t.co/Vc9GR2bHBw) #WealthInequality #PartTimeWork #MiddleClass #DE
Zahlreiche Organisationen, darunter die Arbeiterkammer und die GPA, haben in einer Kundgebung vor dem Bundeskanzleramt die Einführung von Erbschafts- und Schenkungssteuern gefordert, um die ungleiche Vermögensverteilung in Österreich zu bekämpfen und die reichsten Haushalte stärker an der Budgetkonsolidierung zu beteiligen. #WealthInequality #InheritanceTax #SocialJustice
Especially when the Chancellor and the government keep saying that we have to tighten our belts now. Why shouldn't well-paid members of parliament be part of this "we"? (Original: Zumal wenn der Kanzler und die Regierung gerade andauernd erzählen, dass wir jetzt den Gürtel enger schnellen müssen. Warum sollen ausgerechnet gut bezahlte Angeordnete nicht Teil dieses „wir“ sein?) #Accountability #WealthInequality #GovernmentResponsibility #DE
Het Centraal Planbureau waarschuwt dat de verschillen tussen rijke en arme mensen in Nederland steeds groter worden, mede door een belastingstelsel dat niet bijdraagt aan een eerlijkere verdeling van inkomens en dat aanpassingen nodig heeft om de kansenongelijkheid te verkleinen. #WealthInequality #TaxReform #SocialJustice
Jonathan Rinderknecht, a 30-year-old Uber driver, is accused of intentionally igniting a fire in the Santa Monica Mountains, which escalated into the destructive Palisades fire linked to 12 fatalities and thousands of lost homes, with prosecutors suggesting his actions were fueled by a fascination with fire, resentment towards the wealthy, and a troubling obsession with a recent murder case he followed closely. #Arson #MentalHealth #WealthInequality #US #FR #IT #NY
6.676 million in the first quarter of 2024, 8.487 million in 2025, and 10.815 in 2026. The obscene profits of the banks keep rising while people cannot afford the mortgage, rent, or purchases. We have repeated it many times, a 57% tax on banks NOW. (Original: 6.676 millones en el primer trimestre de 2024, 8.487 millones en el de 2025 y 10.815 en el de 2026. Los beneficios obscenos de la banca siguen subiendo y la gente no puede pagar la hipoteca, el alquiler o la compra. Lo hemos repetido muchas veces, impuesto del 57% a la banca YA.) #BankingProfits #WealthInequality #TaxTheRich #Nospecificcountriesarementionedinthearticle.

Jonathan Rinderknecht, soupçonné d'avoir déclenché volontairement un incendie meurtrier à Los Angeles en janvier 2025 en raison de sa colère contre les riches, doit être jugé à partir du 8 juin, avec des procureurs le décrivant comme un chauffeur Uber animé par des ressentiments envers le capitalisme et admirant un homme inculpé pour meurtre. #Arson #SocialJustice #WealthInequality
