Happy Halloween. Trickle-down economics is nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich. For working people, it's been 40 years of all trick and no treat. Enough.

Medicare for All would save $450B a year.

Every dollar spent on food stamps generates $1.50-$1.80 in economic activity.

Each dollar going to low-wage workers adds $1.20 to the economy overall.

It’s not about what this country can or can’t afford.

It’s about priorities.

Amazon just announced 14,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $40M last year.

UPS announced 48,000 layoffs. Its CEO made over $24M last year.

Intel announced 20,000 layoffs. Its new CEO's pay package is valued at nearly $69M.

This is what I mean when I say the system is rigged.

Ok… that’s an opinion… thank you for your thoughts. We will all go along now enjoying Stravinsky and dinosaurs. Agreeably, they are not for everyone.

Half of America is maga. Blocking them seems kind of like burying your head in the sand. Why not try to come up with some convincing arguments/actions that will help lead them toward a better future that we can all enjoy as a community?

Adelita Grijalva won her election to Congress nearly a month ago, but Mike Johnson still hasn't sworn her in. Why the delay? Perhaps it's because Grijalva would cast the final vote needed to release the Epstein files.

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion, after getting $1.2 trillion richer over the past year alone.

Meanwhile, the rest of the country is getting squeezed by tariffs and high prices for groceries, utilities, and health care.

The system is broken.

Wouldn’t you rather defend the track record of those that follow your religion? Wouldn’t you like to correct the record by demonstrating that christians house the poor, accept the refugees, feed the hungry, heal the sick… isn’t there enough evidence of that happening right now?

Then why did you reply? Seems like I hit nerve… you amoral slut hiding behind the lie of a moral/just god. You should throw off religion and try standing bravely against the unknown and just act with moral fortitude. That is strength.

We should all register as republicans and only run republican candidates. Vote our conscience. Primary everyone. Make being Republican meaningless. Maybe that will throw them for a loop.

I’m judging you hardcore bud. And I bet you can guess what I’m thinking. Good work. Your job here is done.

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1965: 20-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio in 1990: 75-1

CEO-to-worker pay ratio today: 280-to-1

Trickle-down economics was always a sham.

Nothing has ever trickled down.
