A political party devoid of new ideas starts stripping people of their rights — voting, reproductive, etc. — to assert their dominance and control.
It’s a road to authoritarianism. Be warned.
More than a month ago Scott Moe and the SK Party said more money would be coming to help kids….it’s been a month and crickets….is it coming? If so we all know it’s going to be well short of the $400 million that he and his party as stolen from our kids. https://t.co/l6krfKIjDv
China targets Canada, so the CPC plan is to spend money exposing our national security plans in a public inquiry when out Nat Sec Agencies have been preventing it from being an actual problem.
I remember when Cons weren’t tools for foreign govts! #cdnpoli
Here's you, celebrating the passage of the Trump tax cuts in 2017, which were largely a $2 trillion giveaway for corporations and the rich — just part of the $7 trillion added to the U.S. debt under Trump.
Why is Social Security running out of money? Income inequality.
Workers are making less than projected.
But the rich are getting richer, and more of their income is escaping the cap on Social Security taxes.
It's just one more way the super-rich don't pay their fair share.
Currently, the wealthiest Americans can transfer up to $12.92 million to heirs, during their lifetime or at death, without paying federal estate taxes.
Folks, the tax code has been written in favor of the wealthiest Americans at the expense of the rest of the American people.
For the last time, corporate greed, not wages, is driving inflation.
Last year, corporate profit margins reached over 15% – their highest level since 1950.
Meanwhile, wages have struggled to outpace inflation.
It’s time for the Fed to stop putting the blame on workers.
Remember: Trump told Proud Boys to "stand back and stand by." —9/29/20
Convicted criminals, and key Trump allies, Roger Stone & Michael Flynn were in constant contact with both groups ahead of the January 6th attack on the Capitol.
The government makes darn sure that if you can't work due to illness, age or disability that you'll live in horrific poverty unless you have a rich family to support you. If you have no family support, you have to rely on charity. Forever and ever until you die.
Bankers get bailed out, and the biggest banks do even better.
Meanwhile, the federal minimum wage has been $7.25/hr since 2009.
And 60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck.
Is it a surprise that so many see the system as rigged against them?
Just another reminder that trickle down economics was invented by conservatives in the 1980s to justify massive tax cuts for the wealthy and corporations. It’s been nothing short of a disaster.
@spittinchiclets Good call. The bruins have had the benefit of the doubt all season on calls. Suck it up buttercup it’s playoff time so stay on the porch if you can’t play with big dogs. 😙
The Supreme Court is off the rails.
Is it any wonder that 73% of Americans support establishing a code of ethics for SCOTUS justices?
They clearly can't be trusted to police themselves.
How can you watch Clarence Thomas…
-Accept free trips from a GOP megadonor
-Report hundreds of thousands of dollars in income from a defunct real estate company
-Fail to recuse himself from cases with clear conflicts of interest
...and not think SCOTUS needs a code of ethics?
@GrindLinePod @TheWingerDaily That sounds a little harsh. Maybe he’s just an angry guy idk. Maybe a change of scenery and fresh start? Second chance?
I would’ve picked up P. Kane to though.
There's an adult conversation to be had about our public broadcaster, but CBC is not the enemy of Canadians, and it's not state media. To say otherwise says more about you than it says about the CBC. https://t.co/ZD06EcclRI
