If Bernie's 5% annual wealth tax on billionaires had been enacted in 2012, Elon Musk would be worth less than $365 billion instead of the $834 billion that he's worth today. He'd still be the wealthiest man alive & every senior would have dental, vision & hearing under Medicare.

New - @BernieSanders to unveil new mega tax on America’s ~1,000 billionaires, would raise $4.4 trillion

Potential marker for other candidates who do run in 2028, @RoKhanna is introducing House version

$ would be directed to:

- $3K stimulus checks per person earning under $150K/yr
- Expand Medicare to cover dental/vision/hearing for all seniors
- Ensure every public school teacher gets paid at least $60K/yr
- $850B for affordable home construction (“abolish homelessness”)
- Universal childcare
- Reverse Trump Medicaid cuts

[Warren Gunnels @GunnelsWarren]

Bernie introduced the Pay Teachers Act today to:
-Require a $60,000 minimum teacher salary
-Mandate a $30/hour minimum wage for school staff
-Triple Title I funding
-Give teachers $1,000 for class supplies
The cost? $450 billion

Cost of Trump's tax breaks for the 1%? $1 trillion

The Have-Nots vs the Have-Yachts.

Teachers can write off only $300 of school supplies for their classrooms on their taxes.

CEOs can write off the full cost of their yachts.

This is what it looks like when billionaires pay millionaires to write laws to benefit billionaires.

[Mulder, it’s me... @DanaMUA]

How does it feel to be the eleventythousandth person to play a role in a four hundred year old story and be declared as THE best ever to do that character, setting a standard no one will match, even if they try until filmmaking dies?

[Jessica Burbank @JessicaLBurbank]

Why would the government have an obligation to search for and save the life of a billionaire who willingly took a submarine to the ocean floor but not a kid with cancer who can’t afford healthcare?

[Jeff Timmer @jefftimmer]

This fact makes GOP heads explode: Every single Trump state, including FL & TX, is a welfare state subsidized by taxpayers in blue states. Every red state receives more federal $ than they contribute. Every one. All of them. Rely on majority Dem taxpayers for their state spending

@MarleeRobinsonn I love that for you!!!
