Hier ist ein Artikel über das klimaschädliche Verhalten der Superreichen:
There are some truths that when you think about them, they can inform your actions. The biggest one is that there is enough food that no human should go hungry.

A quick history lesson. From 1940-1980:
•Wealthiest paid 70-94% marginal tax
•0 of them went broke from taxation

•We had the strongest middle class growth in US History
