$500 Billion and the Rise of the Oligarchs: Are We Giving Up Our Control?

$500 Billion and the Rise of the Oligarchs: Are We Giving Up Our Control?

Here’s a mind-boggling reality check: $500 billion—this is the amount of money we’re talking about. To visualize it: imagine the White House filled with $20 bills from corner to corner, both floors, that’s $500 billion. Or picture a football field, end zone to end zone, two stories tall, packed with $20 bills—that’s also $500 billion.

Now, fast forward to today—the richest 500 people in America went from $3.1 trillion in 2018 to $5.6 trillion in 2024. That’s 80% growth in their wealth. Meanwhile, how much have you seen your wealth increase? Does that sound fair? The gap is widening, and it’s not about politics. This is a problem for everyone.

The Greeks warned us about this: an oligarchy—where a small number of people control everything. And this is exactly what’s happening right now. These people could buy the entire U.S. military multiple times over for a fraction of their wealth. Is that what we want? A few people with enough money to control everything, from our economy to our military?

The reality is, they’re manipulating the system—hoarding money by using the tax code to avoid paying their fair share. And for years, we’ve been gaslit into thinking it’s fine. But it's not. Trickle-down economics? It's a lie. It doesn’t work. They’re hoarding the wealth while we struggle with inflation, automation, and the loss of jobs. And what's the distraction? Wokeism, CRT, DEI—anything to keep us divided while they keep stacking their money.

The truth is, this isn't just a tax issue—it's a power issue. The few are taking control, and if we don’t stop this, they’ll control everything. The military, the economy, even nuclear weapons. We can’t let that happen.

It’s time to wake up. Math doesn’t lie. If we don’t act now, we’ll be too far gone to fix it. Get on the same page, fight back against the hoarding of wealth, and realize that it’s always been about taxes. Let’s get back to reality before it's too late. I’m rooting for you
