This video is being spread around on social media. It’s often titled “Historian schools billionaires on marginal tax rates” or something similar.
Rutger Bregman does lay down some truth bombs and it is nice to see him confront all the rich folks at the Davos conference without fear.
That said, I feel like he is not the star of this video. (And Rutger agrees.)
Some asshat from Yahoo spurted Trump talking points and asks how we can fix things without taxing the rich. Winnie Byanyima gives an amazing response about how we do not track quality jobs for unemployment numbers. Something I have been complaining about for a while now.
I thought maybe I would try to balance things and give her the credit she deserves.
Winifred Byanyima is a Ugandan aeronautical engineer, politician, and diplomat. She is the executive director of Oxfam International. She seems like a badass, but I’m not sure that is appropriate to add to her Wikipedia page.
