You know who needs to collude? The G20. They should harmonize tax structure and agree to tax the rich at the same percentage, removing tax havens and forcing the mega rich in each country to pay their share!

If Congress doesn’t act, Social Security benefits are on track be cut in 2032. Not on my watch. We must protect Social Security by lifting the cap so that those with the highest incomes pay the same share as everyone else.

Tax billionaire wealth. I frankly don't care if a billionaire can make a second billion. I'd rather have the average person be able to make their first $100k.

In 1970, students in a fifth-grade class at Hawthorne School in Beverly Hills were assigned to write a letter to someone they admired, asking them “What makes a good citizen?" So 10yr old Joel Lipton wrote to Peanuts cartoonist Charles M. Schulz. Joel got a reply.

Ukrainian Foreign Minister Andrii Sybiha: “By refusing President Zelenskyy’s offer for direct peace talks, Putin lost his chance to get out of his failed war. Things will only get worse for Russia. Battlefield losses will continue to grow. Failures will get more humiliating.”

There’s been a lot of talk in this race about what makes a "real man." A man does what’s right when no one is watching. He upholds his commitments to his family and neighbors. He doesn’t lie, cheat, & steal his way through life. Real men serve others. Weak men serve themselves.

Tisza had to build 2000 ”islands” of support in Hungary to oust Orban—in a country the size of Indiana with a population of 10 million. The Democrats need a young marathon runner with indomitable spirit and optimism.
