That few know about, thanks to a billionaire/government controlled corporate media.
Are not the following words depressingly true?
The Institute for Policy Studies has just released a new analysis showing that since the start of the Covid-19 “pandemic” in mid-March and the subsequent transfer upwards of $5 trillion to the wealthy and largest corporations through the Cares Act, approved 96-0 in the U.S. Senate, 650 U.S. billionaires have gained over a trillion dollars in eight months as the America people have suffered an economic catastrophe. This shift upward of massive wealth under Trump is similar to Obama’s massive 2009 bailout of the banks on the backs of American workers. Both were justified through feats of legerdemain by both political parties, accomplices in the fleecing of regular people, many of whom continue to support the politicians that screw them while telling them they care.
If the Democrats and the Republicans are at war as is often claimed, it is only over who gets the larger part of the spoils. Trump and Biden work for the same bosses, those I call the Umbrella People (those who own and run the country through their intelligence/military/media operatives), who produce and direct the movie that keeps so many Americans on the edge of their seats in the hope that their chosen good guy wins in the end.

The difference being, and it’s a big difference, Obama inherited a recession rivaled only by the Great Depression, and Trump inherited a booming economy.
Not even close to being the same.
If Obama had not bailed out the banks, even more people would have lost their homes, more people would have lost their life savings, and retirement funds, and the world would have gone into a deep depression.
The transfer of wealth from the middle class to the wealthy began in earnest under the Reagan administration, which to this day his advisors at the time now say was a huge mistake enabling his failed supply side tax policies.
Which have only been further made worse by the Bush disaster, and by the Trump failures.
Until all of these tax cuts are repealed entirely going back to the 80s, and out of control military spending curtailed. The problem will not be solved.
