When Companies Tax the People - Economic Update with Richard Wolff

Prof Wolff wants you to understand how the inflation works. We pay more, but instead of going back to public goods, this effective "tax" gets business owners a bigger paycheck.

"That's what a price increase means. So, it's a tax on us paid not to the government for making public services, but to provide more profits to private corporations. Wow." - Richard Wolff

This is a clip from S12 E12 of Economic Update: "Christian Socialism"
