“… because we’re bringing wealth back to America.”
America already has wealth. Too much wealth and too much poverty. What America needs is more even distribution of funds/assets. Starting by
taxingactually COLLECTING the correct percentage of taxes from people and companies hiding/hoarding their excess, and using it to help people with too little. And going on to restructure the tax brackets so excess wealth is recognized as the drag on the economy that it is.

So the IRS needs to be expanded, with a mandatory focus on the “whale” targets. Obviously not going to happen under the present oligarchy, but the present chaos makes it a good time for passionate progressive people to start campaigns for seats presently held by MAGAs and GOP suckups, DINOs and Dem weaklings.Meanwhile DOGE just eliminated like 6000 the staff at the IRS who were supposed to be auditing rich people.
Lutnick just forgot to add the word “disparity” after his “wealth”.
