The ‘17 $2T tax cut gave $.83 of every $ to the very richest corporations & individuals. The tax rate has been the primary weapon of oligarchy in creating a massive transfer of wealth into the hands of 1% over the last 40 years. Do not let them get away with not discussing taxes.

#WealthTax of 2% on $50M+ and an extra 1% on $1B+ would put a lot of “How are we going to pay for it?” questions to bed.

This program framework seems to have been floating around the D.C. ether for quite some time now, and I wonder if part of the impediment to even considering the idea is the allergy many establishment dems (and their staff) have to touching or even being associated with taxes...

Your ignorance of reality is just astonishing. Where is your data to support it? The opposite is true.

I Agree ... there needs to be major tax reform!

What's worse it's all borrowed money and future debt. Who's going to pay for? Well, those that received it aren't they're the beneficiaries of such largesse. I guess that leaves the other 95%ers. What's that favourite American saying? "Never give a sucker an even break"?

Union-busting is the primary weapon for the transfer of wealth over the past 40 years. Let’s talk about the right to organize .

This is why one of my protest strategies is withholding federal income tax #DefundDC They could lock me up But they locking everyone up that still has a brain & eyeballs attached, for any racially diverse protest One effort to starve the beast without tear gas & cracked skulls
