I think part of the problem is that we confuse "wealth" as "money" and not "capital".
We don't need to raid a bunch of bank accounts and hand out big checks to everyone.
We do need to give workers equity in the companies where they work. We need to give them transparency with regard to how the businesses operate. And we need to give them lines of credit such that they can operate these businesses independently of the private banking sector.
That is the real wealth of the modern American economy. Not the Petrodollar.
