#FollowTheMoney 🧵72/n “Vice like grip” - nice. “In 2025 you can still buy advantage, massively increasing your chance of getting into the most powerful roles in the country. This is grossly unfair, and a waste of talent on a huge scale. If we want a fairer country and a stronger economy, employers and policymakers must take responsibility for levelling the playing field, where privilege is no longer a passport to power.” https://www.theguardian.com/society/2025/sep/18/private-schools-educated-most-powerful-jobs?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

#FollowTheMoney 🧵73/n American billionaires have reached $7.6 trillion of personal wealth , up $4.7 trillion (or 160%) in the less than eight years since the first Trump-GOP tax law was enacted in December 2017. Most of that wealth increase has never been taxed and may never be under current law. Number of billionaires grew from 551 to 905. But the top 15 - each worth over $100 billion– have seen their wealth grow by more than 300%. https://americansfortaxfairness.org/billionaires-7-trillion/
