43. 1920s in terms of the Weimar Republic & Peak Income Inequality.
Mon Sep 3, 2018, 01:01 PM
Sep 2018

"The richest 1 percent of Americans now takes home about 20 percent of total income, and owns over 40 percent of the nation’s wealth. These are close to the peaks of 1928 and 2007." - Robert Reich, Sept. 2, 2018.

This horrid, racist and ignorant woman reflects far too many people now boldly spewing their hate.

It's like a contagious infection or disease that's revived and raging to dangerous levels. And untreated.
