CEOs earn 614 times more than workers at US’s 100 lowest-paying corporations

“Low-wage workers are now facing the biggest cuts to Medicaid and Snap [food benefits] in history. Many of the employees at these companies have to rely on those programs, and then so many of them have also been terrorized and detained by ICE agents,” added Anderson. “So it’s really astounding that the leaders of these companies have turned a blind eye to this surge of threats against many of their workers, and instead they’ve just continue to be fixated on enriching themselves.”…

Tax day is a reminder of America’s unequal tax system. But we can fix it

The idea that billionaires should pay higher tax rates than working people is not radical. What is radical is allowing a system where extreme wealth exists alongside widespread hardship – and where those billionaires can in effect opt out of contributing to the society that made their success possible…

Fossil fuel firms may have to pay for climate damage under proposed UN tax

If it can be made to work, the treaty could be a big step forward in making fossil fuel producers pay for the damage they cause, and in ensuring the richest contribute. Inequality rates have soared in recent years, with the wealthiest 0.001% of the population – roughly 56,000 people – holding three times more wealth than the poorer 50%, and the disparity is growing...

China has brought millions out of poverty. The US has not – by choice

The Chinese did rather well in the age of globalization. In 1990, 943 million people there lived on less than $3 a day measured in 2021 dollars – 83% of the population, according to the World Bank. By 2019, the number was brought down to zero. Unfortunately, the United States was not as successful. More than 4 million Americans – 1.25% of the population – must make ends meet with less than $3 a day, more than three times as many as 35 years ago...
