I want my $876!

[Tom Joad]

We could easily afford this.

$876 a month is about 10 grand a year per person.

Our per capita money income is about 30 grand a year per person.

So why shouldn't the poorest have 1/3 of the average?

The reason it's opposed of course is that a handful of people are getting hundreds or even thousands of times the average and they don't want to redistribute a nickel of what they have. However most billionaires have made their fortunes screwing the working class. Either by underpaying them, over charging them, or just plain scamming them with schemes like the subprime debacle.

There has been a massive theft of wealth by the 1% over the past 30-40 years and it needs to be reversed.
