A worker making $50,000 a year contributes to Social Security with 100% of their income.
A CEO making $20 million a year contributes to Social Security with less than 1% of their income.
It’s time to scrap the cap.

Whatever Timothy Snyder says, believe.
At Michael Flynn & Eric Trump’s event today, Leigh Dundas says she coordinated behind the scenes with Flynn & others to secretly organize a mass sick-out of supply chain & transportation workers before the Christmas season in 2021 to create havoc & try to shut down the country.

Under the Republican Party's bill, every time you spend $100, you'll be taxed $30. It's the largest tax increase on working Americans in history.

As an Indigenous man who fully supports the Black community, I find it incredibly hypocritical for Republicans to wish people a Happy MLK Day — while simultaneously removing Black (and Native) history from their K-12 school curriculums. #MLKDay

Defaulting on the US debt by not raising the debt limit will crush the economy and skyrocket interest rates on US debt. It will cost way more than any savings from cuts. It’s a dangerous game the GOP will own if they default. Pay your credit card.

The Governor’s plan to give public dollars to private schools is a budget-busting nightmare.
Within 4 years, this plan would cost almost a billion dollars.

I wonder what most Westerners understand of Russia’s war. As Yale Historian Timothy Snyder noted, it’s rare that a country pre-announce that its intention is to commit genocide—but Russia did just that. And it’s carrying this out now.

State sales tax on a $40,000 car is $3440 (8%). Republicans want to impose a 25% sales tax on the same car. That’s $13,340 in taxes on a midsize or small SUV. Who will be able to afford a $53K Honda Pilot or Chevy Impala? Call your House members and tell them.

The Republicans know the facts, or they should if they're serious about combatting the epidemic of drug deaths in this country. It just doesn't fit their political narrative. Fentanyl is primarily smuggled through legal ports of entry, not illegal entry routes.

Currently single person or a minor who earns less than $12,950 does not owe any federal taxes, and is eligible for a refund of any withheld taxes. With a 25% flat sales tax on everything, that person will loose up to $3,237. A married couple: ($25,900 would loose up to $6,475.)

The flat income tax is so horribly wrong for Wisconsin that state Republicans and their enabling media deniers called it fictitious and called Democrats liars when it was exposed the GOP candidate for governor would sign it if elected.

Do you working class MAGA voters really want to pay an additional 25% sales tax on everything you buy so that the rich pay no income tax? Do you even realize what Republicans are attempting?

WI Republicans officially unveiled a "flat tax" today. Here are the facts:
-82% of the benefit goes to people making over $100k
-Millionaires average a $112,167 tax cut
-People making minimum wage get $38
More like a "flatten the middle class" tax cut.

This one is subtle. I've seen Fox News get this one multiple times. Dana Perino blames the Democrats for eliminating the filibuster for SCOTUS nominees. She's wrong. The filibuster for SCOTUS nominees was eliminated under Trump by McConnell. I provide receipts.

The GOP has repeatedly made cuts to the IRS that is woefully understaffed to collect the $1.5 T in uncollected taxes every year. Do you pay your taxes? You have nothing to worry about. The political party that makes you think you need to worry operates on FEAR.

Here is what will happen with the new House of Representatives: They are going to criminalize others in order to exonerate themselves.
This is what happens when the real criminals are not held accountable.
