@EdMac1972 Capitalism only serves the very wealthy, is destructive to everyone else. #USAPoverty, racism, inequality, desperation, &lack of basic HR including HC, are killing us. It was pivotal in electing Trump and is contributing to recreating the US as a fascist nation. #PaperBallots2020

If the US were a civilized nation, we'd have a basic income to be certain no one lived in #USAPoverty. At very least, there would a basic income for the the duration of emergencies such as #COVID19.

More than 26 million people in the US have filed for unemployment in the past 5 weeks. Staggering, but still an under-count given how difficult it has been to file. https://t.co/DYub4bRZjB #Coronavirus #COVID19

There would be no “homeless problem” if America were no longer a Pathocracy. Ending #USAPoverty requires a conscience. #ElizabethWarren2020!

California and New York must do something about their TREMENDOUS Homeless problems. They are setting records! If their Governors can’t handle the situation, which they should be able to do very easily, they must call and “politely” ask for help. Would be so easy with competence!

In this unprecedentedly wealthy nation, America, "Deaths of despair" should never be a normalized part of our culture. #ShameOnAmerica. There is no excuse for #USAPoverty. #USArespectHumanRights #TaxTheHellOutOfTheRich (Let the rich leave. We don't care.) #GreenNewDeal #UBI

Life expectancy just dropped for men for yet another consecutive year. Deaths of despair continue to rise. Don't you dare tell me there's nothing to see here, and that technological unemployment isn't real. People are hurting. We need UBI ASAFP. https://t.co/s7aAuaOItB #YangGang

@bubbagump324 Good start, but raise to 5% on 50M &slide to 15% on 100M &so on, They’ve plenty loopholes&hedge funds, so it must be enough they’ll actually have to pay some of it. The vast diff between rich&poor is staggering &extent of #USAPoverty is obscene in this pathocracy. Not democracy.

@CNNPolitics Ever since the UN special rapporteur @Alston_UNSR started publicizing his findings of #USAPoverty , USA hasn’t been all that interested in the UN 🤔

The proposed tax reform package stakes out America’s bid to become the most unequal society in the world. It will greatly increase the already high levels of wealth and income inequality between the richest 1% and the poorest 50% of Americans. #USApoverty

@cryborg 1/3 Exactly, we are there. #USAPoverty is staggering and has rapidly increased under Trump. It's naive to think if we've avoided them thus far, we won't be there soon. The #Studown is only an inkling of how far he'll go. Anyone who missed @Alston_UNSR's UN report, a review:

Capitalism's self-destructing. It's killing us. The wealth distribution criminal: "The top 20 percent of households actually own a whopping 90 percent of the stuff in America." Not to mention the suffering due to denial of HR/HC. . #USAPoverty #Pathocracy https://t.co/SMkK8omtfK

@safeagain1 @PinchandScrimp @RevDrBarber YES! The vast difference in income between the poor and the very wealthy is approximately 350%. HUGE. No one needs 10s of billions while much of the world is starving and homeless or seeking asylum. NO EXCUSE for #USAPoverty NOR for #Racism.

In our society where capitalism runs amok and corporations and $$$ are more important than human lives, the earning gap between CEOs and workers is: 354 to 1. #pathocracy #USAPoverty

Shocking findings! Americans desire grter pay equity than in countries some call "socialist." We believe pay gap betw US CEOs & unskilled workers is 30 to 1. Actual? 354 to 1. But our ideal? 7 to 1. https://t.co/y3mvtzpKcA Denmark? 48 to 1. Norway? 58 to 1 https://t.co/A30fgET53i

#USAPoverty IS a human rights violation. Food IS a human right. So are shelter and HC. Thank you @Alston_UNSR for bringing the vast inequality in the US to the world’s attention. It must be exposed and faced to be stopped. https://t.co/asqjR03P4M
