The 100 lowest-paying US corporations spent $644B on stock buybacks from 2019 to 2024.

Buybacks artificially boost share prices and inflate CEO pay.

The typical worker at these companies earned $35k last year.

Meanwhile, the average CEO was paid $17.2M

See the problem?

We’re in the second Gilded Age just like the first — when America’s wealth was in the hands of a few, money corrupted politics, and working people were abused and exploited.

It can be easy to feel discouraged, but the first Gilded Age teaches us lessons on how we can fight back.

Workers are already struggling to make ends meet because of rising costs. Letting the ACA tax credits expire would blow up families’ budgets.

We shouldn’t be forced to choose rent or health insurance. Congress must fix the health care crisis NOW.

Brace for the largest-ever spike in health insurance premiums

The GOP's backdoor plan to gut Obamacare: Kill the tax credits.

Republicans are doing it again: Putting us in a government shutdown while throwing a fit because Democrats won’t allow them to gut our health care (again). Demand Congress pass a clean continuing resolution to reopen the government without gutting health care! share.weareultraviolet.org/s/ujTDqcQx
