    In the past, when there was a much higher tax on high income earners, instead of paying more in taxes, they would spread the wealth a little more equitably. This was true in Hollywood, in corporations, hell, in working service industry jobs. There were still rich, but so were others. In the past 40 years, we have been experiencing the greatest wealth transfer (over $50 fucking trillion ) from the working class to the 1% ever. And it’s poised to get worse. Anyone who doesn’t support unions and a strongly progressive tax is either ignorant of the history of the US, or an asshole. There is no in between.

    What’s up with the writing - seems kinda weird, are the tweets real? I don’t have twitter so i (semmingly?) can’t check myself.

    I like John Cusack, he’s a great actor and seems like a decent human being, so no big deal either way but just wondering what’s up with that.
