We shouldn’t have to debate who “deserves” food, healthcare and housing.
We should be angry that these things aren’t guaranteed to everyone.
We should be outraged that the wealthy & corporations continue to profit off the misery and suffering of others.

Now they’re proposing a 4 day work week and 6 hour work days

Reminder: This vast consolidation of wealth and power at the top has not been due to neutral market forces.
There’s no such thing as a “free market.”
It is designed.
It either advances public purposes or it serves the monied interests.

Wealth inequality is eating this country alive. Concentrated wealth is already endangering our democracy. Wealth doesn’t just beget more wealth — it begets more power.

This is how our government has been corrupted:
1) Donors give huge sums to elect politicians to office
2) Elected officials rewrite rules in the donors' favor
3) Donors make huge profit
4) Repeat
We must get big money out of politics.
It is the root of our dysfunction.
