“Tariff pain is not shared equally: the less money you make, the more president Trump’s proposed higher taxes on imports will hurt. Tariffs are another blow to lower-income earners already struggling with higher prices.” #tariffs #lowIncome #wealthinequality

Trump tariffs would hit lower-income Americans hardest

Tariffs are another blow to people struggling with higher prices.

CEO pay has skyrocketed 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker wages rose just 24%. This disparity—fueled by neoliberal policy—has deepened inequality and contributed to declining U.S. life expectancy. And they want more & more while we get less & less. #WealthInequality #Neoliberalism #Pinks

Ronald Reagan’s real legacy, charted and graphed. Spoiler: It’s not the bedtime story we’ve been told. A visual breakdown of the inequality, debt, and mass incarceration still shaping our lives. 'Trickle-down' economics was never real. #economics #politics #reagan #WealthInequality #TrickleDown

Collage of 7 charts, 8 graphs, each featuring trends in various socioeconomic data over time w/Ronald Reagan’s face & arrows highlighting specific years in 1980s:

1. Top-left: line graph titled "Income Gains Widely Shared in Early Postwar Decades – But Not Since Then." Shows real family income for top 5%, median, & bottom 20% from 1947 to 2017 as percentage of 1973 levels. Reagan’s face is placed near early 1980s when income disparities start to widen.

2. Top-center: graph titled "Life Expectancy vs. Healthcare Spending Over Time, from 1970 to 2014." U.S. trajectory is highlighted, showing high healthcare costs w/limited life expectancy gains compared to other countries. Reagan’s face marks 1985, point where U.S. curve notably diverges.

3. Top-right: line chart titled "Top Marginal Tax Rate from 1966 to 2014." Chart shows a steep drop in top tax rate during Reagan’s presidency in 1980s, indicated by his face & an arrow.

4. Middle-left: graph from Federal Reserve titled "Federal Debt: Total Public Debt as Percent of Gross Domestic Product." Reagan’s face marks early 1980s, where federal debt as a percentage of GDP begins a sharp rise.

5. Bottom-left: chart titled "United States Debt in 2014 Dollars & as Percent of GDP," showing significant increase in both metrics during Reagan’s presidency, marked w/his face & an arrow.

6. Bottom-center: line chart comparing percent increase since 1970 in tuition & fees, median household income, & minimum wage in Illinois. Reagan’s face marks the early 1980s, where tuition & fees begin to outpace income & wage increases dramatically.

7. Bottom-right: 2 graphs about incarceration:
- 1st graph, titled "Incarcerated Americans 1920-2014," shows a sharp rise in prison populations starting in 1980s, marked w/Reagan’s face and an arrow.
- 2nd graph, titled "U.S. State & Federal Prison Population, 1925-2013," notes Reagan’s launch of the "War on Drugs" in 1980s as a key factor in the prison population surge.

Elon Musk's net worth of $400 Billion surpasses the annual GDP of many countries as seen in the map below. The combined wealth of the top 3 richest individuals exceeds that of the bottom 50% of the global population. This is something to ponder over. #WealthInequality #EconomicDisparity

New post just published on Substack about how Trump used his tariff policy to manipulate the stock market so billionaires could profit at our expense. Feel free to give it a read if you're interested. I'd love to hear your thoughts! 🙂 #MarketManipulation #Trump #WealthInequality #USPOL #PoliSky

Millionaire taxes gain steam as states face budget crunches • New Hampshire Bulletin

While the idea of a special tax on millionaires is hotly debated across the country, Maine state Rep. Cheryl Golek characterized her state’s new tax as a modest and reasonable step toward fairness.

Wealth inequality is killing us and we need all of our elected officials and more people like Gary Stevens talking about the war on working people instead of these manufactured culture wars. @garyseconomics.bsky.social #taxwealthnotwork #wealthinequality #econsky youtu.be/e9ROtVQt98s?...

Neoliberalism has ushered us into the Gilded Cage. The road from neoliberalism to oligarchy—and from oligarchy to fascist flirtation—is not a conspiracy theory. It’s a pattern. My latest Substack article in my series on Neoliberalism. #Neoliberalism #WealthInequality #Pinks

Oxfam reports that the top 1%—about 685,500 people—own £2.8 trillion collectively, more than the poorest 70% of the country. If we’re serious about fairness, cutting benefits for the disabled is indefensible. #WealthInequality #DisabilityRights #Labour #TaxJustice
