Why be so cheap? Give everyone $1 million a day, every day, forever. And three soy lattes a day. And a foot massage. We have a magic money tree — we should use it!

There’s nothing reasonable about an economic system that serves a few at the expense of the many.

Donald Trump just claimed carpenters, policemen, and farmers are the type of people who benefit "probably more than anybody else" from the stock market. That's false. To put things into perspective, here's just how much US billionaires have made during the pandemic:

Billionaires Have Made an Absolute Killing During the Pandemic.

The the richest 0.000019 percent of the US population grew their collective wealth by an estimated $685 billion, from mid-March through early-August of this year.

Where do we get the money? You can tax the rich but eventually the money stops coming in. The Robin Hood theory doesn’t work. Education to get a better job is what we should do

How is this not stealing from future generations if not funded today? The interest on our debt will continue to eat into the ability for government to support basic needs. I understand interest rates are at an all time low, but this is not sustainable.
