Go through every major issue. Health care, childcare, housing, home health care, college affordability. On every one of these enormously important issues, the Republican party has virtually nothing to say to address the desperate needs of low and moderate income Americans.

Oil prices today: $85.90 a barrel
Gas prices today: $3.85 a gallon

Oil prices in April 2010: $85.66 a barrel
Gas prices in April 2010: $2.85 a gallon

Gas prices are $1 a gallon higher than they should be because of Big Oil's greed. We need a windfall profits tax.

These are the Republican HYPOCRITES who voted AGAINST VETERANS getting the healthcare they’ve earned and deserve. Some are even vets themselves!! Vote them all out! #RepublicansHateVeterans @jonstewart

AriZona Iced Tea has stayed 99 cents for 30 years. The company is still profitable.

A Coke stayed 5 cents for 70 years at one point.

When companies say "we're forced to raise prices due to inflation," they're really saying "we're taking advantage of inflation to raise profits"

Boosting enforcement of antidiscrimination and antitrust laws, raising the federal minimum wage and higher unionization rates could substantially boost U.S. economic growth, a new report by President Joe Biden's top economic advisers concludes https://t.co/e3c3UJtMLo

Wendy's increased its net income by 70%, pays its CEO 532X more than its median worker & is spending $100 million on stock buybacks. Now it's blaming the rising price of a Frosty on inflation? No. The problem isn't the Wendy's worker who got a 50 cent raise. It's corporate greed.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

Gas prices are rising at their fastest pace ever and have topped $4 for the first time since 2008.

Just a reminder that America gets 1% of its oil from Russia, while Exxon, Chevron, BP and Shell profits are at their highest level in over 7 years.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

hear a lot of talk about food prices but no one ever seems to mention that four companies control 85% of all meat Americans eat.

And yes their profits are all doing quite well right now.

(P.S. 10 poultry execs are currently under indictment for alleged price-fixing)

[Sen. Bernie Sanders @SenSanders]

Oil company revenues since last year:

Exxon: ⬆️ 57%

Chevron: ⬆️ 84%

Shell: ⬆️ 49%

BP: ⬆️ 45%

We cannot allow big oil companies to continue to take advantage of the war in Ukraine & inflation to make huge profits by jacking up gas prices. We need a windfall profits tax.

.@Sen_JoeManchin is wrong on energy. Might as well be the Exxon CEO on #MeetThePress. MVP isn't being built because people don't want eminent domain for private gain. We've been told for 50 years "we eventually will get to clean but just not now so build more pipes." No more.

Worker productivity is up 62% since the 1970s, yet wages have barely budged in the same period — meanwhile, CEOs in this country have seen their pay explode by 1,322%.

Does anyone REALLY think CEOs are working 1,322% harder than they did in 1978?

[No Lie with Brian Tyler Cohen @NoLieWithBTC]

Republicans are screaming about the need for “energy independence” while unanimously opposing renewable energy investments that would create millions of jobs generating energy in the US. You cannot make this up.

[Dan Price @DanPriceSeattle]

If you pay your employees so little that they require food stamps and Medicaid, you're not a job creator, you're mooching off the public dime.

(and yes, the majority of people on public assistance are employed)

Starbucks is raising prices after reporting a 31% increase in profits. The company’s revenue increased by almost 20% to over $8,000,000,000. Their CEO’s pay increased by almost 40% last year to more than $20,000,000.

Do not be fooled. This is about corporate greed. It always is.

[Qasim Rashid, Esq. @QasimRashid]

Chipotle: 26% profit increase. Raising prices.

Starbucks: 31% profit increase. Raising prices.

McDonalds: 59% profit increase. Raising prices.

Shell/Mobile/BP: 60% profit increase. Raising prices.

There's not a labor shortage.
This isn't inflation.
It is 100% corporate greed.

[Robert Reich @RBReich]

Student debt: $1.87 trillion

GOP tax cut for the rich: $1.9 trillion

I’d like to live in a country where we bail out students who need it instead of CEOs who don’t.

Do not provide your voting information to random people at the door. This group is trying to trick people into giving information that is already public data to create a false narrative of election irregularities.
