and, if you choose, your civil contributions which will make it into a conversation.

Something to think about

If one proposes to increase taxes on the wealthiest 1% in the US, well and good.  If one proposes to increase taxes on the wealthiest 1% in the world is it still well and good?

If the answer is “yes” the 1% may very well include the American middle class but it is consistent.
If the answer is “no” then the question becomes “why not”.

    I remember seeing this cartoon around the time that Occupy Wall Street was a big thing - your post reminded me of it and I thought it was worth sharing here.
