'But the DOW' jibe fuels tax-the-rich debate

Original: But the DOW...! # Zer0Billionaires # TaxTheRich # socialsciences # poverty # USPolitics

A sardonic jab at stock-market-focused defenses of the US economy is circulating under the label 'Zer0Billionaires', paired with calls to tax the rich and discussions of poverty. The phrase 'But the DOW...' mocks the common political argument that rising stock indexes prove economic success, a point of friction as Americans weigh market gains against everyday living costs and inequality.

Why now: Ongoing US political debate over wealth inequality and whether stock market gains reflect ordinary people's economic reality.
