My colors are Red,Blue and Liberty Green until we are equal.
The problem with unregulated capitalism is that at some point one person ends up with all the money
This is inexcusable.
A truly wild moment yesterday from the House Financial Services Committee, where they laugh about the revolving door from Congress to the banks.
A handful of billionaires now have unprecedented control over banking, the food we eat, the health care we can access and, now, the information we receive.
This is what oligarchy looks like.
Two-thirds of companies in the U.S. are seeing higher profit margins than they did before the pandemic—and they're using talk about inflation as an excuse to slam consumers with extra high prices. We need to enforce antitrust laws & promote market competition to bring down costs.
Monopolies not only hurt consumers by raising prices, but they also squeeze out small mom and pop businesses to increase their profits.
We need to start enforcing antitrust laws to break up corporate giants, increase competition, and lower prices.
Nearly 4 in 10 student loan borrowers don’t have a degree. They tried college, but life caught up, they had babies, somebody got sick, they were working three jobs & then had to drop out. Now they're getting crushed with debt. @POTUS should #CancelStudentDebt.
@elonmusk@SenWarren Dear Mr Musk, I used to be a fan when it appeared you were trying to help humanity. The mask is clearly off and you have turned out to be another spoiled billionaire. Patriots pay their share! Ditto on not buying a Tesla, I cannot support you.
#BuildBackBetter marks the largest investments in working families since the New Deal.
It's also a historic first step to fighting back against the last forty years of tax policy rigged in favor of the rich and corporations.
Thank you, @HouseDemocrats!

.@EWarren’s plan for a Corporate Minimum Tax...
✅ Would make the tax code more fair
✅ Raises $319 billion to invest in America’s workers and families
✅ Is supported by 70%+ of Americans (Dems, independents, AND Republicans)
LFG.

Politicians who've retired or lost an election shouldn't be allowed to keep millions in unspent campaign funds. This fuels corruption in Washington by allowing former politicians to buy influence. My bill with @SenatorBennet will stop this.

The ultra-rich have gamed out how to have low incomes and big wealth. So just taxing their income won’t get the job done. We need a #WealthTax, or billionaires will keep laughing in the faces of hardworking Americans who actually pay what they owe.
