The more Trump can tear down democracy, the safer the oligarchy becomes.

This is why the billionaires who once disavowed him are quietly crawling back.

The ultra-rich will do anything to protect their wealth and power.

That includes destroying democracy itself.

@rbreich so why not destroy the power structure that keeps putting us in this mess.

Effective tax rates before and after the Trump tax law:

Verizon
Before: 21%
After: 8%

Walmart
Before: 31%
After: 17%

AT&T
Before: 13%
After: 3%

Walt Disney
Before: 26%
After: 8%

FedEx
Before: 18%
After: 1%

This is what a corporate giveaway looks like.

@rbreich Why is the default "you're not going to get more weapons" and not "make peace with your neighbors" Why are we giving weapons to Israel in the first place? Why don't you call for the sanction of Israel NOW because of the multitude of atrocities their country has committed? Israel is a genocidal state. Why would we support that? What benefit does an American get from supporting the death of the families of the Palestinians?

A new CBO report estimates that extending the Trump tax cuts for the next 10 years would add $4.6 trillion to the deficit.

Remember this the next time Republicans propose cuts to Social Security, Medicare, and Medicaid.

The "party of fiscal responsibility" is full of it.

@rbreich and where are the Biden tax raises? If Trump gets the credit for the tax cuts, where are the raises that Biden did to put us back to good or better? 4 years is all it took for Trump to lower taxes, why can't Biden do the reverse? Cause maybe it's a rigged system?
