Scott Bessent : “We’ve Got to Give the Bottom 50% Some Relief” Amid Wealth Imbalance

📝 DESCRIPTION
Top 10% of Americans own 88% of equities, while the bottom 50% are drowning in debt—and U.S. Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent is calling for change. In a revealing interview with Tucker Carlson, Bessent outlines a bold plan to fix a system that, in his words, hasn’t worked for most Americans. From unaffordable groceries to rising food bank lines, while luxury travel hits records, Bessent says enough is enough. His proposals include exempting overtime, tips, and Social Security from taxation, and using tariffs to shift the tax burden off working Americans. Backed by data from Trump’s first term—where the bottom 50% saw faster net worth growth than the top 10%—Bessent insists this strategy can work again. Watch the full breakdown of how one of Trump’s key economic minds plans to bring relief, dignity, and opportunity to struggling families across the nation.
