As Supreme Court Justice Louis Brandeis stated in 1933; “We can have democracy in this country or we can have great wealth concentrated in the hands of the few, but we cannot have both.”
Today, at a time of unprecedented income & wealth inequality, his words ring truer than ever.

Increase in productivity since 1979: 87%
Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 32%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.

Trump not knowing who he pardoned, if he pardoned them, or that they are a crypto CEO who just gave his family a $2 billion deal and then received a pardon, is a way bigger controversy than Biden and an autopen.

So there's that 🫤
Before the midterms of 1866, President Andrew Johnson called his congressional opponents traitors and said they should be hanged.
Voters were so profoundly moved by his words... that they gave his opponents a supermajority in Congress, and the nation got the Fourteenth Amendment.

They resist because they are sick. Fuck 2% I say 50% and that's not even as high as it once was and those rich family's still did just fine paying 90+%... Allowing people to acquire these vast amounts of cash is putting too much power in their hands. I've yet to see any good come from this.
Wealth Taxes Will Barely Slow Inequality. So Why Do the Super-Rich Resist Them?
A 2 percent wealth tax is like shaving off a fraction of a spire from a large cathedral, says economist Nancy Folbre.

Families are paying over $200 more a month this year compared to last year.
Meanwhile, Republicans are increasing your healthcare costs and pausing SNAP benefits.
Democrats are coming back this week to fight for healthcare, lower costs, and an end to the Republican shutdown.
