Some rich people understand that wealth inequality is bad for democrcy, bad for the planet and bad for the vast majority of people.

Billionaires don’t fear for their lives enough. That’s a legit issue.

my gran called to complain about my coworker who hasn't been pulling her weight. She likes to complain about every person in my life not doing right by me which gets really annoying when it's my friends. Anyway, I give her an update on the coworker situation which is essentially this: It's not about me. The kid is struggling. She's living in poverty with an abusive parent who she can't get away from because of the housing crisis, she's forced to commute for hours every day in a truck she's gonna be paying off until she wrecks it, and when she gets to work she can't do the work because of personal health issues and being pregnant but she can't quit the job because she needs healthcare. That took the steam out of my grandma's Karen rant. Now she could see how heartless it would be to say the kid deserved to be fired. She's anti-abortion so she can't suggest that. Gee it's almost like it would be great, I said, if we had things like affordable housing, universal healthcare, and some kind of government program that gave people who couldn't find safe & accessible work a living wage (with no shame or demeaning conditions) so that this young girl wouldn't be forced to suffer like this— and for what? She is running herself ragged caring for luxury status symbol animals on behalf of a company who's CEO has a net worth in the millions. Who's really not pulling their weight?

Republicans have, for decades, been cutting social services, including mental health and substance use services, while giving tax breaks to billionaires and corporations without raising the minimum wage. Republicans created the homelessness crisis.

Now they want to criminalize the people who have suffered most from their policies. The only way this can make sense is if Republicans do not care at all how their policies hurt people as long as they get paid.

Stop bailing out the rich and start taxing them.

The problem is that a good portion of our politicians are in the 1% and why would they vote to tax themselves?

They won’t unless we give them no other option

I am not an economist and a lot of this is going over my head, 😅 but there is so much misinformation about how “radical” the republicans THINK her tax proposal is and how much money they THINK they would lose.

Wether you agree or not it’s best to be informed when having discussions about how this election might affect your finances.
