@BreeNewsome@RoKhanna Thank you! I’ve been asking the same question. I feel the Democrats threw away their best opportunity to make an even stronger case by calling witnesses,an even more compelling case showing Trump’s dereliction of duty. I’m not happy with the Dems today! Like you, I want answers!
https://t.co/YJfBX4cJKK. We are making progress in this area and 80% of Democrats and 52% of Republicans support a Medicare For All Single Payer Healthcare System.
Last year, one-in-five Americans couldn’t afford to buy the medicine prescribed by their doctor. Meanwhile, pharmaceutical companies made billions in profits and spent hundreds of millions on CEO compensation. We must end their greed.
I look forward to meeting with Amazon workers in Alabama on Friday. All I want to know is why the richest man in the world, Jeff Bezos, is spending millions trying to prevent workers from organizing a union so they can negotiate for better wages, benefits and working conditions.
If Amazon workers prevail in forming a union in Alabama, they'll do it in Mississippi. They’ll do it in Tennessee. They’ll do it in Georgia. They’ll do it all over America.
And instead of a race to the bottom, we will see rising living standards throughout the country.
Billionaire families would pay $1 trillion more in taxes under Bernie's new estate tax bill including:
⬆️$85.8 billion: Sam Walton family
⬆️$44.4 billion: Jeff Bezos family
⬆️$40.4 billion: Elon Musk family
⬆️$25.3 billion: Mark Zuckerberg family
99.5% of families would owe $0.
Jeff Bezos, worth $180 billion, is getting nervous. He's afraid that if Amazon workers in Alabama vote to unionize, it'll give workers all over America the courage to take on his greed & win economic justice. He's spending millions against this union to keep billions for himself.
Right now, there are 253 bills in state legislatures that restrict voting rights in 43 states. Losing an election should not mean changing the rules to win the next one. Why are cowardly Republicans so afraid of democracy?
No. People are not in love with their private health insurance. If this pandemic has taught us anything it is that health care must be a human right, not an employee benefit. We don't need Medicare for some. We need #MedicareForAll
We are in a moment in American history where two guys — Elon Musk and Jeff Bezos — own more wealth than the bottom 40% of people in this country. That level of greed and inequality is not only immoral. It is unsustainable.
Bill Gates wealth in 2009: $40 billion
Bill Gates wealth in 2021: $138 billion
Minimum wage in 2009: $7.25 an hour
Minimum wage in 2021: $7.25 an hour
Gates would owe $29 billion more in taxes under Bernie's Make Billionaires Pay Act. And no. That is nowhere near far enough.
It’s here!!!! 😱 I’m so excited and even more terrified.😆 You can officially pre-order my book, Man Enough: Undefining My Masculinity, right now: https://t.co/wuTbEPCuac 🙏🏼❤️️ #ManEnough
