Trump’s tax law cut the corporate tax rate from 35% to 21%.

What did corporations do with the money saved?

They didn’t invest it or raise wages.

They spent a record $1 trillion on stock buybacks the year after the law went into effect.

Nothing trickled down to workers.

Project 2025 is a nearly 1000-page step-by-step playbook that would turn America into an authoritarian nightmare and shred our freedoms.

Trump can try to distance himself from it but it was put together by more than 20 officials he appointed in his first term.

Don't be fooled.

I mean, as if America wasn't an authoritarian cyberpunk nightmare land.

They literally outlawed being homeless and raised the housing prices.

I remember both times you kneecapped Hillary Clinton, and long before that, Al Gore.
At one time I respected you, but I realized at some point it was only because of your flowery mastery of language, rather than the quality or value of your opinion.

Conservatives say raising the minimum wage would drive up inflation.

But the federal minimum wage hasn't gone up since 2009.

Average CEO pay has gone up about 60% since 2009.

Whose pay is contributing to inflation?

@AndiPopp@chaos.social avatar

@rbreich Nobody's. It's the company profits. The profits drive inflation, last seen with energy crisis at the beginning of the invasion of Ukraine.

This piece is good--it shows that the little people, you and me, we don't get to make choices, real choices.

It is also a bit disingenuous: it dismisses Clooney right off hand, without addressing that the actor, who had a fund-raiser for Biden just 3 weeks ago, reports that the Biden that he interacted with during the fund-raiser was the same Biden as the one in the debate.

Nancy Pelosi gets it: she asked the party to give Biden time to figure this out.
