You mean the hyper rich —- meaning the 1% of households that pay 40% of the nations taxes?
Or the incredibly hyper rich - the .1% that Sen. Warren wants to charge an extra $300B/year in her wealth tax?
Not arguing that hyper rich don’t have significant power, but to make claims that they hold every power level in this country is a simplistic overstatement. Free speech is an important tool fighting that ans with myriad more avenues for speech now available in the last 20 years — power is available to a wider range of people — if they know how to wield.
I think we saw in the last election there is a large flaw in Piketty’s argument about our country’s power structure.
