Robert F. Kennedy Jr. - Wikipedia.
He expressed skepticism about the
COVID-19 pandemic, contending that it served to benefit billionaires; according to Kennedy, the pandemic resulted in a "$4.4 trillion shift in wealth from the American middle class to this new oligarchy that we created ā 500 new billionaires with the lockdowns, and the billionaires that we already had increased their wealth by 30%". Kennedy has also stated that the American government is dominated by
corporate power; he said the
Environmental Protection Agency was run by the "
oil industry, the
coal industry and the
pesticide industry", and described the
Food and Drug Administration as overly dominated by "
Big Pharma".

Additionally, he has stated his belief that "systematic"
erosion of the middle class is taking place, remarking in a 2023 interview with
UnHerd that American politicians have "been systematically hollowing out the American middle class, and printing money to make billionaires richer". He stated that the
financial industry and the
militaryāindustrial complex are funded at the expense of the American
middle class.
[148] Kennedy sees a "vibrant middle class" as the backbone of the economy and stated that the economy has deteriorated because the middle class has become poorer.
[149] In an interview with
Andrew Serwer, Kennedy remarked that the gap between rich and poor in the United States had become too great and said, "the very wealthy people should pay more taxes and corporations". He also expressed his support for the wealth tax plan of
Massachusetts senator Elizabeth Warren, which would impose an annual tax of 2% on every dollar of a household's net worth over $50 million and a tax of 6% on every dollar of net worth over $1 billion
