Hartmann: Do French Billionaires Love Their Country More Than US Billionaires?

America’s wealthiest could learn a thing or two from a nation across the pond. In my Daily Take – I’ll tell you why the wealthiest in France DIDN’T need a memo from Warren Buffett to do the right thing for their country!

We’re furious.

White supremacists, conspiracy theorists, and far right extremists have gone unchallenged long enough. The armed rampage at the U.S. Capitol on Jan 6th was not the end of their attacks on democracy.

We urgently need to do more to fight against the far right and its violence — while we still can.

Please join us in our fury and help us amplify the voices of the authors and activists fighting for our future.
