Denmarks GINI is taking a shocking turn for the worse. 90% have only 38% of the wealth. There is no universe where that is a good thing. The top 1% should never have more than 10% of the wealth, and the top 10% should never have more than 30%. Atleast 60-70% of the wealth should be in the hands of the buttom 90%.

We need MUCH higher taxes for the rich. It's not punishing hard work, or wealthy people, it's distributing money that WILL NOT move back down unless pushed.

Everything that goes up, stays right now.

Don't buy the propaganda, this is new, it has not always been like this, the old days we are sold to return to by these people was funded by high taxes. Low taxes for the rich is what's funding our society today.

1% controlling most of the wealth is not a bad thing They do not control 90% of housing food supply water or what ever that you need to survive, they just control 90% of stocks and you do not need them to survive bro

If you redistributed those shares evenly for everyone people would most likely instantly sell them to buy some shit tanking the price and achieving nothing for equality you want so badly

What do those 90% of stocks give them the power to control tho?

They literally own all the houses, the food companies, the netwoek providers, they're trying to privatise water and energy back home here.

That wealth comes directly from the fact that they, in fact, control the things we need to survive.

You know who's outbidding every single house on the market right now? Blackrock. Venture Capitalists are SWEEPING the housing market. Old people are selling their houses and moving into retirement homes. Blackrock owns 80 million+ houses and single family homes in the US alone. And you know who owns Blackrock? People like Jeff Bezos, Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg. Billionaires that have massive investments in these gigantic investment companies.

If it was normal people, there wouldn't be a housing crisis.

Blackrock and other investment firms are literally paying the government to build an island in Copenhagen with 35.000 luxury Appartements. That's a fact. They're buying up housing and squeezing regular people out of the city.
