Because billionaires are the ones who create the jobs. We don’t need a stimulus check. We need to go back to work

A flat tax, with no deductions, is the ONLY way everyone will pay their fair share. Tax laws benefit the very wealthy and politicians are beholden to them.

You’re really growing on me, Marianne.

Because the billionaires own and operate the federal government, if you haven't noticed. "Democracy for sale", since 2011.
