Posts claim that since 1975, $79 trillion in wealth has been transferred from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%, a figure drawn from inequality research on wage suppression relative to productivity growth. Commenters tie this to the Jeffrey Epstein scandal by framing an untouchable elite class, and link the statistic to cost-of-living anger, stagnant wages, poverty and pro-union sentiment.
Why now: Anger over inequality and the Epstein scandal is reinforcing narratives of a corrupt ruling elite.
