Elizabeth Warren’s proposed 3% tax on people with over $100M in wealth would generate $30B in revenue each year on Elon Musk’s fortune alone. That’s about how much the US spends each year on affordable housing subsidies.
Tax. The. Rich.
If your bank forced you to legally put a certain amount of your paycheck every payday for 30 years into a savings account for your "retirement," didn't give you interest, then when you were getting ready to retire, said "we're only going to give you 70% of your money back, because we can't afford to pay you the full amount."
Would you accept that?
Vote every Republican out.
There's actually legislation in Califomia to shorten the workweek from 40 hours to 32 hours without a reduction in pay, which would be the most transformative labor legislation in our generation, and it should be bigger news but it barely made a headline.
put my brother to rest this week 💔 he used to joke about making people put band stickers on his casket and throwing candy inside. never thought that day would come so soon but we made sure he had the most punk coffin in history
I have no respect for anyone who’s angry about this. This is exactly what taxes should be spent on. Not subsidizing corporations and giving bombs to Israel.
