Total student loan debt that would have been erased for millions of Americans: $400 billion

Total cost of the Trump tax cuts that largely benefited the wealthy and corporations: $1.9 trillion

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

@rbreich For the visual learners among us, here's what that disparity looks like.

@rbreich Those tax cuts for the wealthy probably don’t include the amount of revenue lost from taxes not paid due to IRS cuts too.

@rbreich Capitalism would never allow such behavior, #degrowth now

@rbreich I'm still waiting for those profits from the 80's and 90's to trickle down...

@rbreich bob, i have followed you for decades and on birdsite. How many bazzilionaires have advanced degrees (MBA doesn't count in this context)?

@the_turtle @rbreich
Why wasting time getting an advanced degree yourself when you can hire ten people with degrees? Sometimes I think Americans don’t understand the plutocracy.

@rbreich When you say "the system is rigged", do you mean Republican tRump tax cutting $1.9 trillion for the rich is the same system as Democrat Biden working for student debt relief?

This sounds similar to dysfunctional Republicans yelling that government is broken.

It's the system, it's government, it's the baby with the bath water.

@rbreich Like Sewage Party La La Land', Ununited CONthem, In which, 'Prince'Ponce Andrew is paid millions of Taxpayers pounds. For not helping the, 'F.B.I'. Clearly Madcow, ToryBrexitfluent Diseases Pandemic is RAMPANT.
