    “Smaller” if you’re a billionaire. When they say “the economy” just insert “rich people’s wealth”. It wouldn’t be a smaller economy in reality, because what drives a healthy economy is people spending money. Rich people don’t spend money, regular people do. Regular people getting paid more and having a larger piece of the pie, counterintuitively means there’s more pie.

      Thank you.

      The problem is wealth concentrating in too few hands. And those hands are greedily reaching for more and more wealth.

      We simply need systems to redirect the wealth from the 0.1%.
