Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Republicans want to slash Medicaid — a death sentence for thousands of Americans. Medicaid provides health care to more than 37 million kids, funding for 2/3 of seniors in nursing homes & is 40% of the revenue for community health centers.
We must EXPAND Medicaid, not cut it.

The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau literally exists to protect consumers from predatory financial institutions. It's returned over $21 billion to 205 million consumers. The sole result of this move is that Americans will have no recourse when they get screwed over by a bank. Good work Elon 👍

It’s not just that the billionaires control the economy.
It’s not just that the billionaires increasingly control our political system.
It’s that these oligarchs also control the media and the information the American people receive. This is a very dangerous situation.

The mainstream media may not discuss it, but here's the fact:
Three people —Musk, Bezos & Zuckerberg — now own more wealth than the bottom half of American society.
A handful of corporations control what is produced & the prices we pay.
Capitalism is broken.
