It’s time for you to run for office.
When the GDP grows but our middle class doesn’t something is seriously fucked up. It’s time to rebuild organized labor. It’s time to strike It’s time for a $15 minimum wage It’s time for a 70% marginal tax rate It’s time for the 99% to take our country back.

1. When did the 99% have it? 2. Won’t a sudden sharp increase in the minimum wage cause massive inflation and force other jobs to adjust all of their wages up? 3. Such a high marginal tax rate will discourage corporations from developing new technology and employing more people

1. We haven’t that’s the point 2. Good force them to increase wages 3. We literally had a 70% marginal tax rate before Regan. Even with what we have now it’s not stopping companies from leaving either

I think we may need more than a $15 minimum wage.

Yeah. We're already pretty close to $15 in California and I'm Sheryl struggling. A $350 unexpected car issue + 2 pets needing emergency deworming now has us short for rent. Gonna be 2 weeks late

The median household income in 1988 was $56,000. 30 years of inflation later, it’s $63,000. What used to be middle class jobs are now subsistence jobs living paycheck to paycheck. You can thank 30 years of Republican and neoliberal economic policy for that.
