The main obstruction to the American people being served appropriately by our government is the idea - actually, the lie - that “we can’t afford it.” Don’t say “Pretty please” anymore. Say “This country belongs to us and we want it back.”

Why don’t you be honest with the public and post those countries tax rates as well. It’s not just the rich paying taxes in those countries either, everyone pays....

I can say that Americans will have to give up their 2000 sq ft houses for a more modest 500 sq ft apartment like in Denmark . They ALL pay 50% in income tax, $6 gallon gas, carbon tax, and sales tax of 20%. Why don’t you tell Americans this upfront and honestly?

@HillaryClinton IS the first woman elected as POTUS but the people in government then & now are too feckless & cowardly to make the compulsory correction to Trump/GOP/Russia's usurpation. The season of 3,4,5/2020 will be very "interesting". "A time, two times & half a time"👇

Yes, the narrative that we can’t afford good schools, clean air &water, renewable energy, health care, living wages and more is bogus. Check out our short film, storyofbroke.org to see more. @storyofstuff
