Here are 6 lessons from the pandemic:

1. Workers are always essential.

2. Healthcare is a basic right.

3. Conspiracy theories can be deadly.

4. The stock market isn’t the economy.

5. Wages are too low to get by on.

6. Billionaires aren’t the answer.

A new report from @EconomicPolicy highlights how our wages can grow if lawmakers stop their assault on unions and collective bargaining.

76% of voters support Covid relief. 0% of Republicans voted for it.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

0 Republicans voted for the $1.9 trillion Covid relief bill.

278 Republicans voted for Trump’s $1.9 trillion tax cut for corporations and the rich.

This tells you everything you need to know about the GOP.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

CPAC proved that the GOP is the party of Trump, through and through: a dangerous, deluded, authoritarian, and increasingly violent faction that has no role in our democracy.

I've been saying this for over two decades: raising the minimum wage is not some abstract ideological debate. It's an undeniable necessity.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

America's 660 billionaires could give everybody in the country a $3,900 survival check and still be as rich as they were before the pandemic.

If that doesn’t convince you we need a wealth tax, I don’t know what will.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Refusing to increase the minimum wage is essentially a subsidy to corporations that refuse to pay workers enough to live on.

In turn, workers use public benefits to make ends meet and taxpayers end up footing the bill.

I'm sick and tired of corporations claiming otherwise.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Billionaires have added $1,100,000,000,000 to their wealth during the course of the pandemic while the $7.25 minimum wage hasn't budged in over a decade.

Tax the rich. Raise the wage. Now.

Unions matter! #UnionStrong

Missouri NEEDS Unions! #1U

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

A deeply divided nation serves the billionaire class, giving them unfettered access to the economy's gains while the bottom 90% of Americans fight each other for crumbs.

Trump is the oligarchy's dream.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

If America’s distribution of income had remained the same as it was in the three decades following the second world war, the bottom 90% of Americans would now be $47 trillion richer.

Tax the rich. Break up monopolies.
Invest in the American people.

It is important that when we travel across our bridges that we feel safe. That is why union apprenticeship programs are so important. #NationalApprenticeshipWeek #NAW

Trump is a total disgrace, but Mitch McConnell may go down as the most corrupt and duplicitous politician in modern American history.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Joe Biden is leading Donald Trump by 3,595,876 votes. He has the most votes of any presidential candidate in history.

And yet we still don’t know if he’ll become the next president.

The Electoral College is a sham.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Wyoming is 92% white.

California is 37% white.

A Wyoming voter has nearly 4x more influence than a California voter.

The Electoral College is racist. It must be abolished.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

America's billionaires have gotten $1 trillion richer during Trump's first term.

Meanwhile, 8,000,000 Americans have fallen into poverty.

If this doesn't convince you trickle-down economics is a hoax, I don't know what will.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

To rural heartland Republicans: He’s taking away your postal service. He’s allowed the pandemic to surge into your communities. He’s threatening your Social Security. His trade war with China is killing your ag exports. He’s decimated your small businesses. Are you convinced yet?

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

The same senators who worked overtime to secure a $1,900,000,000,000 tax cut for corporations and the super-rich are leaving town for nearly a month as 40,000,000 Americans are one rent check away from eviction.
