Corporate profits are at record highs — but revenue from corporate taxes has plummeted thanks to the tax cuts in Trump and Republicans’ big, ugly bill. Meanwhile, workers’ wages are stagnant and their share of the nation’s income is at a record low. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax.

Yep and if you know anything about Ramaswamy, his use of this should not surprise you. He's a friend of JD Vance, and is a birthright citizen who is against birthright citizenship, anti-abortion, anti-LGBTQ+, practices Hinduism but aligns with evangelicals. A walking conundrum of hate.

Economics isn’t necessarily a zero-sum game. But power is zero-sum. The more at the top, the less anywhere else. The fact is, wealth can’t be separated from power. Power begets wealth and wealth begets power. To understand the system, we need to understand the cycle.

They rigged the rules and dared us to quit. Bad bet. We don't surrender our power — we use it. On November 3rd, we decide who the system serves. Vote early. Flip the House. Flip the Senate. #BlueWaveIn8Days

Home repossessions are up 40%+ in #AZ. Trump and the GOP enablers did this. People cannot afford their bills because of the horrible GOP policies. And their Big Beautiful Bill drops a hammer on families coming in January—conveniently timed for after the election. VOTE BLUE. #Pinks #ProudBlue
