America's 813 billionaires now collectively hold a record $5.8 trillion.

That’s more than the wealth of the entire bottom half of the US, roughly 65 million households.

It's not radical to tax the rich. It's radical to allow this level of wealth concentration to continue.

Robert Reich reports that the ultra wealthy have got even more wealthy, while the poor have gotten poorer. And yes, one option is to tax the rich. But if that can't be done, we need other options.

@rbreich Funny how people don't like the idea of China "manipulating" the US. Yet Americans are only too happy to be manipulated by (and local billionaires of course).
