It fell on Chicago teacher Sylvelia Pittman to ensure her students were fed over Thanksgiving. What if instead we had a budget that prioritized community well-being over corporate interests? inequality.org/article/tax-...
Tax the Rich or Burden Working Families? The Choice Is Clear.
As a teacher in Chicago, I've seen how prioritizing the wealthy leaves the rest of us wanting.

Outside Washington, pretty much everybody wants to crack down on overpaid CEOs. Good to see a glimmer of bipartisan action with this bill. It would ban utility exec bonuses if rates rise faster than inflation + cap bonuses at 25% of median worker pay.
Utility CEOs are cashing million-dollar bonuses while Upstate families are choosing between heat, medicine, and groceries.
I just introduced a bipartisan bill to stop utility companies from paying CEO bonuses while ratepayers get crushed.
Enough is enough.
