This document outlines how right-wing billionaires such as hedge fund managers and Robert Mercer are attacking New York to further enrich themselves at the expense of others. It claims they are destroying the economy, corrupting government, and hurting families and communities through tactics like wage cuts, outsourcing jobs, lobbying, and funding attacks on public institutions. It calls for closing loopholes that allow billionaires to pay lower tax rates than average workers and using revenue from fair taxes on the wealthy to invest in schools, healthcare, and other services for New York residents.

The philosophical underpinning of the current American progressive tax system (aka marginal utility theory for beginners). We’ll look at data on who’s actually
bearing the tax load, where actual income growth has occurred over the last several decades, and data on changes in the New York tax system over the last several decades. We’ll talk about the impact of unchecked inequality on the US political system, the economic inefficiency of the growing inequality, and address concerns about progressive taxation, ”fleeing millionaires” and the myth of layoffs at “small” businesses.

Wealth Pyramid
Paul Kivel in his article, Affirmative Action, Immigration, and Welfare: Confronting
Racism in 1998 which was taken from his speech given at the University of
Kansas he asks us to imagine a pyramid and he explains that this pyramid
represents 100% of the population of the United States. 62 In the pyramid he
discusses wealth or the accumulation of our assets, which can be referred to as
our net worth.
In author Paul Kivel's more recent book, You Call This a Democracy he
discusses his economic pyramid as I have described below:
Economic
Top 1 0/0
Of the
Pyramid
(the
ruling
class):
their net worth is over
Next

pyramid
(the
managerial
class):

country's

POPU'LATION BUT THEY CONTROL

controls only 9% of the wealth, which must be divided among them,
an]
their "average" net worth is $38,000 (where many of the dependent
working poor are in the negative)
To make sure you completely understand what this represents, we must define
Net Worth = Assets — Liabilities
Where, assets are items you own of value like an automobile or home and liabilitiesare items that you owe like the car note or mortgage.
For instance, let's assume that you are like many Americans and have thefollowing living circumstances: Your annual income is $25,000, you rent ratherthan own your home, have credit card debt, have a car but you owe on it. You
don't participate in an IRA (Individual Retirement Account), you have no stocks or
mutual funds (wealth building assets), no other investments and only a small
savings in the bank.
Your assets & liabilities may look like this:
Car worth $10,000
Savings $1000
Total Assets $11,000
Car loan $13,000
Credit Card Debt $15,000
Total Liabilities $28,000
Your net worth would be calculated as 11,000 - 28,000 = (17,000) which
mean that you are in the red, because you have a negative net worth. Now where

Based on The Economics of Kindness,
by Guy Dauncey
300 years ago, the Enlightenment generated an inspiring vision of scientific, technological and economic progress. What was once global ‘progress’, however, has become a climate, ecological, economic and pandemic emergency.
We need new inspiration. When we emerge from the pandemic we can’t afford to go back to business-as-usual. We need to build ourselves a new ecological civilization in which we live, work and play in harmony with Nature, with respect for all beings, in an economy based on the economics of kindness.

Similar to Right Wing Billionaires Are Attacking New York (20)
The collective wealth of New York’s 120 billionaires jumped by $156.3 billion, or 30 percent, between mid-March of last year and this year, according to new data from Americans for Tax Fairness and the Institute for Policy Studies compiled by the Strong Economy For All Coalition, the Fund Excluded Workers Coalition and the Invest in Our New York campaign.
The $156.3 billion in pandemic profits of the state’s richest residents could cover the state’s projected $15 billion budget gap ten times over and still leave them wealthier than they were when the pandemic hit a year ago.

In a May 9, 2024 paper, Juri Opitz from the University of Zurich, along with Shira Wein and Nathan Schneider form Georgetown University, discussed the importance of linguistic expertise in natural language processing (NLP) in an era dominated by large language models (LLMs).
The authors explained that while machine translation (MT) previously relied heavily on linguists, the landscape has shifted. “Linguistics is no longer front and center in the way we build NLP systems,” they said. With the emergence of LLMs, which can generate fluent text without the need for specialized modules to handle grammar or semantic coherence, the need for linguistic expertise in NLP is being questioned.

and call it “carried interest” to get a lower tax rate.
They say “carried interest” — we say “ripoff.”

pay no tax. It’s ridiculous.
Some of them are friends
of mine, some of them I
could care less about. It is
the wrong thing. The hedge

absolutely destroyed.”
