It’s more about decreasing wealth disparity than just increasing wealth. And a stronger and much simplified progressive taxation system, much increased inheritance taxes and capital gains tax.

That would be the basic start.

Yet before we dismiss the report as nothing new, let’s think about what it means that these 25 men (yes, they’re all men) made a combined $21 billion in 2013. In particular, let’s think about how their good fortune refutes several popular myths about income inequality in America.

Last year, those 25 hedge fund managers made more than twice as much as all the kindergarten teachers in America combined.

We’ve got some fucked-up priorities in this country.
