Hope those tax cuts don’t go thru…but republicans won 2 seats from FL where many retirees live. I guess they don’t care if their Medicare and SS are gone.

April 5th !!The working class out number the rich !!! Stop buying from the companies that did this to us !!Strike Protest !!! Rise up ✊🏾✊🏿✊🏽✊🏼🤍💙❤️ show the world ! Booker Tyranny won’t stand!

America is a plutocracy. And the plutocrats like Musk openly buy elections now. But though he succeeded with Trump, he failed in Wisconsin. Does this mean there's hope for that dead democracy walking?

I hate to refer to the top one percent as “earners,” since the bulk of their income is created by the labor they exploit. A CEO who “earns” a thousand times the salary of a janitor is not working a thousand times harder for the money.

And it’s going to become a greater separation with the pending massive tax cut for the top 1% and increase in taxes for the middle class.

Begging for more! Why even Tim "Apple" as cognizant Trump called him, along with Bezos, Zuckerberg and the rest of the wealthy tech biggies, lining up at Trump's inauguration for FAVORS! All in the race to make more $$$$, ensure LESS regulation and get to the most lucrative "winner $$$" from AI!

Also, another very concerning observation made by several economically inclined peeps is the fact 50% of consumer spending is done by the top 10% of the US, propping the ghost of middle-class economic activity up for now. If that slows down, it's not going to be a good time to be a yank.

Interesting that for all the whinging some do about the 80s and 90s due to some shitty precedents set back then, it's pretty blatant in this chart that it's the economic downturn, recession and bailout of the 2000s that *really* made the difference. George W. Bush, Barack Obama - you fucked up. 😓
