One of the richest men in the 1920s was Andrew Mellon — an early prophet of trickle-down economics.

Yesterday we learned that his grandson, Timothy Mellon, gave a Trump super PAC one of the largest political donations ever.

This is how dynastic wealth works.

Wealth tax now.

Misuse of the term Prophet, gives rise to the false ideology of Wisdom, which clearly is and was non-existent.
Greed does not a Prophet make. Greed is all Profit, non-Prophetic!

"There are no Prophets of Greed, only Profits and Empty Souls!"

The FTC found evidence that a US oil exec colluded with OPEC in 2021 and 2022 to cut production and drive up prices.

The price-fixing scam is estimated to have cost Americans an extra $2,100 per year.

When I say corporate greed is driving inflation, this is what I mean.

The Cost of Corporate Greed = the rising Cost of Living.
