What Happens When Corporations are Taxed at 50% Like Before Reagan?
It’s time to tax the rich, be they individuals or giant corporations, if we want to restore the American working/middle class…

@POTUS

FDR's New Deal policies built the Middle Class
Reagan's Trickle Down policies destroyed the Middle Class

@POTUS and Democrats are working to restore New Deal Policies

Republicans keep trickling on us instead
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Study after study shows that economic inequality at the levels we see today...are the main drivers of crime and civil unrest
And after 4 decades of bad Republican economics our country is at its breaking point

Spoiled, entitled billionaire man-children are buying social media companies/newspapers and television networks and funding politicians and judges

Keeping their taxes low and regulations minimal
While we pay the price

When we honestly take a close look at all the dysfunction in this country...

Every single issue goes back to bad Republican Economic policies designed solely for the wealthy to gain and the working/middle class to lose
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

We achieved our greatest period of economic security for almost all classes of citizens
under the New Deal policies of FDR

After Reagan, our middle/working class now pays the price for the excesses of the top 1%

3/ When I think of Memorial Day, I see a veteran who’s having a breakdown in his car because he can’t get help from the VA.
Do we(as a country) even care about our veterans?
Can we prove it through policy?!?

Toxic waste kills people, but Republicans have worked for decades to cripple the EPA's ability to regulate it. Trump alone rolled back over 100 environmental regulations

Being homeless kills people, but Republicans fight any sort of housing, rent control, or laws that might inhibit foreign or Wall Street from buying up housing and jacking up housing costs.

Guns kill more children in America than any other single cause, and Republicans want more of them, including weapons designed exclusively for use on the battlefield.

The assault on our Democracy today, is entirely funded by the #KochNetwork
CRT, Grooming and all their crisis creation campaigns
Are just cover while they destroy Democracy Worldwide

#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1

Almost all of the current Republican policies stem from the teachings of John Calhoun a Slaver and Fierce advocate for the protections of the Self Titled Aristocracy of the South
Democracy for all was abhorrent to them

The two parties are not the same!

Dems have varying beliefs
but do base those beliefs on reality and facts

Republicans base their beliefs on delusional conspiracy theories stoked by Fox and #KochNetwork propaganda

Gradually, then suddenly
Republicans are systematically destroying American democracy with the clear objective of replacing it with strongman authoritarianism, a American version of what Benito Mussolini called fascism.

In Chile, Pinochet (with help from Nixon) had already infiltrated and gotten the loyalty of both the police, the army, and the civilian paramilitaries he’d spent the previous few years nurturing.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

Gradually, then suddenly
When Chileans poured into the streets, Pinochet swept them up and held them in the national stadium, where 1ks were tortured, murdered, or simply disappeared.

Instead of using their tax breaks and record profits to raise wages and invest in their workforces, greedy price gouging and/or union-busting corporations are enriching executives and wealthy shareholders.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Stock buybacks mostly enrich top corporate executives and other wealthy shareholders. That’s because about 90% of all corporate stock is owned by the richest 10% of Americans; and half of that is owned by the top1%
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Not surprisingly, some of the worst corporate actors that utilize stock buybacks are also price gougers and union busters. Padding profit and CEO and bank accounts, while adding no value to their businesses

Do Republicans have anything to offer the working class?

So far, all we’ve heard is that they want to turn Soc Sec over to the NY banks
& Medicare over to the big insurance companies
Suppress wages and deny union rights

Do Republicans have anything to offer the women of America?

So far, all we’ve heard is that they want to send them to prison or administer lethal injections if they get an abortion.

What have R's done for climate change?
Republicans are still taking $Ms from the fossil fuel barons every year and denying climate change even exists,

Buckle up, people! I'm caffeinated & about to go on a mornin' rant!
GQPers are now pushing a false narrative that Zelensky is calling for Article 5. 🤦‍♀️ They're doing it with a short clip (below) of a larger conversation w/ the true intent of his words
🧵

See, Ukraine is not only defending Ukraine. Ukraine is defending surrounding territories, as well. If Ukraine loses this war, Russia WILL attack surrounding territories next. NATO territories.

Once that happens, Article 5 can (and will) be invoked, as it should.

🧵⬇️

That, would put our Soldiers on the ground.

And it's mind-boggling to me, all the ignorance I see from people saying "F Ukraine" or "F Nato". It's also another reminder of the importance of teaching REAL History. Repubs either forget, never learned, or ignore this FACT:🧵

Actually, I recently binged on the series, Man In The High Castle which should serve as a warning for all of us here- today. Jews, blacks, gays are mostly eliminated, American history has been changed, books banned, & resisters are terrorists.

When the black resistance push the Japanese from the west coast, the Reich creates an opportunity to pass themselves off as liberators of the west coast who are left there from black terrorists. But the audience knows better. We should all see the dangerous parallels. #Resist

1- Over 580,000 individuals are experiencing homelessness in the United States. an increase of over 2,000 people since the last complete census conducted in 2020. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists

2- About 30% of people without homes are experiencing chronic homelessness. This means they’ve been without homes for more than 12 months or have experienced extended periods of lengthy homelessness over the past 3 years.

3- 60% of those experiencing homelessness are male, though unsheltered homelessness rose by 5% among women and girls. More than a quarter of those experiencing homelessness were with their families, including children.

1- 🧵Republicans only do for THEMSELVES, to become richer and more powerful. They have no intention of ever working cooperatively with the democrats for a government that works smoothly in the best interest of the American people. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists

2- Can you name one positive thing Republicans have done? Remember the hundreds of newly proposed bills that were stacked up on Mitch McConnell’s desk, being held for political game playing and not for any legitimate reasons?

3-And remember how Mitch McConnell refused to allow a vote on appointing Merrick Garland as a SCOTUS justice? That is nothing more than political game playing!
Why are we paying the generous salaries and benefits for such selfish & useless people?

1- 🧵Let’s talk about just a few of the things Trump accomplished.
He was the 1st President in history to serve a full term and increase the deficit every year he was in office.
He had the most new unemployment claims. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists

2- First major party candidate in half a century to lose the popular vote twice. He had the longest government shutdown in history (and he did that while his own party controlled both chambers of Congress) First President to be impeached twice.

3- The most indictments, guilty pleas, & criminal convictions of members of an administration.
He wasted millions on golfing, with much of that going back to into his own pockets. He wasted billions on an wall that’s already falling over.

1- Those with lower levels of education tend to be drawn to conspiracy theories. The reason isn’t necessarily because they are not intelligent. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists

2- But many have not been allowed to have, or haven't been given the tools to allow them to differentiate between good sources and bad sources or credible sources and non-credible sources.

3- Learning to think critically is one of the most important skills that children will need for the future. In today’s rapidly changing world, children need to be able to do much more than memorize and repeat a list of facts.

1- As a retired educator, I am especially angered by what the red states are trying to do to destroy our public schools. We know public schools are on the GOP’s hit list. #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #FreshResists

2- We also know fascism flourishes when people are ignorant. So the less educated people are, the more likely they are to vote Republican. For example, I live in a purple state. But the area of the state I live in has many top-notch colleges & universities. My area votes blue.

3- Whitewashing America’s racial and genocidal history while ignoring the struggles of women and gays further empowers straight white male supremacy. This is most definitely a goal of the GOP!
