    To be fair, he is not part of the super rich, he is barely rich.

      His net worth is 3.6 billion(at least from a quick search)… what on dear earth is your definition of rich?

        In an interview he said he earned less than 2 million.

        I can see two sites claiming that amount, but I couldn’t find any evidence on them. I wouldn’t be surprised if they were machine-generated - it doesn’t seem to match up with what we know about Gary from interviews.

          Yeah, that is fair… billionaire status seems a bit carried away as thats difficult to earn outside of the public eye… unless he got involved in managing a hedge fund? I don’t know enough about him.

      gimps like gary and hasan are an embarrassment to the progressive movement

      economist and multi-millionaire gary and political analyst and citizen journalist hasan are entertainers and grifters with nothing of value to offer the world except their performative socialism for their own self interest

        I don’t agree at all. He is making one very simple, very straightforward point. The game is rigged and without action is going to get worse and worse for most people and the only solution is taxes. It’s not an original point, it’s not anything new, but he does well to represent it. Probably because he is focused on this one thing.
