Congress Doesn’t Get It

Members of Congress should have no sick or paid leave at all. They should have to sign up for the Affordable Care Act for their medical, dental and vision. They should have a pension plan equal to waiters/waitresses (nothing). Senators should not be guaranteed their jobs for six years. At-will employment and we are their employers. Just a thought! Make it real.

I support a rail strike, they deserve to work with dignity. #railstrike

This has been bugging me all day. Rail workers have a dangerous job. They were only asking for 7 paid sick days. Democrats passed it. Republicans voted no.

Is it too late for House Democrats to get ahold of the translator's notes from Helsinki--you know, from 2018 when the White House occupant betrayed America to side with Vladimir Putin?

Jeff Bezos says he plans to give away the majority of his ~$117 billion net worth during his lifetime.

That’s nice, but can I let you in on a secret?

Billionaire philanthropy isn’t charity. It’s PR to distract you from low wages and a tax system that’s rigged for the rich.

A rising tide lifts all boats.

Trickle down economics has never worked. Ever. Not once.

There is not a set amount of resources that we must fight over. It's not a single pie where someone having a bigger slice makes yours smaller. Growing the economy or baking a bigger pie helps everyone. Even the selfish and shortsighted people who can't seem to see this.

Helping others helps all of us. Unless your pleasure in life is watching other people suffer. Let's be better than that.
