Think billionaires have no impact on your life? Think again. We never blame billionaires for our day to day problems even though they deserve it. For example billionaires buy up housing projects then up the rent. And as business owners they often squeeze out workers to increase their profits; they’re job looters. Under Trump billionaires have succeeded in their long term goal of taking over US government, transforming a democratic republic into feudalism. On this show, guest is acclaimed author and economic equity activist Chuck Collins, whose new book is titled Burned By Billionaires ; How Concentrated Wealth and Power are Ruining Our Lives and Planet. Billionaires are not evidence of the success of capitalism, quite the converse: billionaires are destroying capitalism. Capitalism is strongest in countries without billionaires, like Canada and nations of Scandanavia. The tide is starting to turn, our tolerance for inequality is shrinking; a full 70% of us favor a wealth tax. Enough!
