It will take America *decades*—not merely years—to recover from what these robber barons did to us.
They destroyed our government, caused untold pain to the average American directly and indirectly, and used our money as their piggy bank.
And all of it *should* have been criminal.

Her parents owe their lives to the United States accepting them as asylum seekers fleeing religious persecution in Iraq in the 1980s. She wouldn't be here if we had not offered her family safe haven.

My dad and I were fascinated by a car next to us at the tip which had gull wing doors. We were watching as the driver opened the doors and then knocked their head on the edge, and then as it drove off it turned out to be a Tesla Model X. We are currently in hysterics

The New Deal wasn’t built on a promise that there would be “no ceiling” for the richest Americans.
Quite the opposite, in fact. FDR knew its politics could only work if he singled out the rich as villains and knew that its policies could only work if the rich paid their fair share in taxes.

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps.
McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay.
Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay.

Now she’s facing cancer herself, and because ACA subsidies won’t be extended, she is losing her healthcare.
Her costs are going up for $49,000 a year.
