There is something deeply broken about an economy that creates trillionaires while people get buried under the cost of living and 42 million go hungry. The ultra-rich should realize that my Billionaires Income Tax, aimed at ensuring they pay their fair share, represents the moderate path forward.

Down at the waterfront for a medical appointment, a couple of blocks from the ICE facility with a Blackhawk circling in the sky when this was released. Sometimes well placed quotations can say so much more than original prose.
