Those tax cuts to ppl & companies that didn’t need them could have solved American poverty. Taxing a few millionaires & billionaires could feed millions of children, give poor & low wealth people things like dental care & eyeglasses, or provide care for the elderly. #velshi

This shouldn’t be a tough decision, but greed gets in the way every time. I’m not arguing that you should like taxes. You should like tax increases even less. We should insist on government that spends our money as efficiently as possible. #velshi

Money that must be spent should be spent with an eye to providing the greatest return - both financially & morally. Whether I pay $10k/year in taxes or $100k or more, I want that money to work hard for infrastructure, my health & safety, climate & the less fortunate #velshi

If we - together - with our tax dollars - help the poor and impoverished, we have the opportunity to lift an entire generation - literally millions of people - out of poverty. It’s time to stop bashing on poor people. #velshi

As my friend @RevDrBarber puts it: “poverty is not a moral failure on the part of those suffering. It’s a policy failure.” It’s time now to fix that. #velshi
