An exposé of the hidden impact of America's überwealthy on the country's economy, environmental health, housing market, and political system Even if you don't begrudge the ultrarich their multiple vacation homes, yachts, and private jets, Burned by Billionaires chronicles how the actions of the top .01% have severe consequences for the rest of us. In chapters including "Road Map to Richistan" and "Extractavism," upper-class traitor Chuck Collins takes down the "myth of meritocracy," showing how the rich rig the game in their favor, resulting in an increasing concentration of wealth in the hands of a tiny (but growing) class of billionaires. In a wholly original argument, Collins shows the impact the ultrawealthy have on the rest of us: increasing the tax burden on ordinary working people; reducing public funding for schools, roads, and other essential infrastructure; shrinking the pool of affordable housing; and accelerating climate change with outsize emissions from superpollutant yachts and private jets. Perhaps worst of all, the concentration of wealth and power is leading to political capture, undermining the democratic principle that our votes matter equally. Lively chapters feature charts, graphs, political cartoons, and more. A final chapter on "Reining in the Billionaires" offers concrete prescriptions for taking power back from the billionaire class.

We are living in a time of extreme inequality, and few places are more unequal than the United States. In this powerful new book, Chuck Collins shows how the powerful and wealthy have rigged the system in their favor, and how ordinary Americans can fight back by transforming local campaigns into a national movement against the toxic lies of the 1%.

"We are the 99%" is the rallying cry of millions of people involved in the "Occupy Wall Street" movement. This is the first book to pull together in once place detailed information about the 1% and the 99% in all realms of society, the causes and consequences of this deep inequality, and what can be done about it. The focus of the worldwide "Occupy" protests is creating a world that works for 99% of people and businesses, not just the richest and most powerful 1%. But who are the 99%? Who are the 1%? How extensive and systemic is inequality in different areas of society? What are its causes and consequence? How is inequality changing in our world? And what can be done about it? For many years Chuck Collins has been a top leader in studying, speaking about, and writing about these questions. In this book he brings together in one place, for the first time, information that has been widely scattered in many different articles, reports, and websites. He provides revealing and powerful information about inequality in all realms of today's world, including individual wealth and power, corporate wealth and power, media control, political influence, and other areas. He then describes the functioning of the "Wall Street Inequality Machine" and describes how inequality wrecks everything we care about. And he tells how people and groups are pushing back against inequality and taking action to reduce inequality and create a world that works for the many and not just the few.
