How's everybody feeling about that trillion dollar tax cut for the rich and big corporations Trump and Republican's passed a year ago? Too bad we don't have that money to save lives and small businesses today!

I have the perfect response to those 23 Republican states rejecting federal unemployment benefits. Take all that money and divide it up among the states accepting the money. $600 per week better than $300. Cc @RonaldKlain @POTUS

Raising wages doesn't kill jobs- it creates them- Higher Minimum Wages Support Job Growth as the Economy Recovers From COVID-19

Higher Minimum Wages Support Job Growth as the Economy Recovers From COVID-19

States that guarantee better pay for their workers have added more jobs in 2021 than states with lower minimum and subminimum wages.

I think that the word “conservative” has lost its meaning and does not in any way describe the modern Republican Party. I propose the word “Regressive” as a way to describe the selfish, racist, misogynistic, and fact intolerant modern Republican. What say you Twitter?

Every year, $2.5 trillion—that's trillion, with a “t”—is redistributed from the bottom 90 percent of Americans to the wealthiest 1 percent. That $50 trillion used to go to working Americans. It’s instead been rerouted to the pockets of the top 1 percent.

There is only one lever available to us to mitigate the impact of all of this on the country and the broader citizenry- a strategy we have not employed in 60 years. It is incredibly simple. Tax the fuck out of the rich. Trust me. We have tons of money.

The best way to bring down executive pay is to require corporations to pay workers more- a lot more. The median worker should get a 100% raise to catch them back up with economic growth over the last 45 years. Do that, and exec pay comes down a lot.

It would be nice if progressives had more interest in bringing down CEO pay, but that is too simple We need lower pay at the top if we want to have substantial pay rises at the middle and bottom

The biggest difference is that in business, everyone who surrounds you WORKS FOR YOU. You can fire them, at any time. As a business leader, you define the goals, the culture, the terms of service, everything. If people do not comply, you fire them or they leave.
