Lack of affordable childcare forces working moms to take unpaid time off & pass up good jobs, costing the average working mom of two ~$94,000 in lost income over their career.

Republicans (and Manchin & Sinema) have repeatedly blocked investments in childcare. Do they hate moms?

And babies unless they're unborn. They definitely hate babies.

Corporate income tax rate before the Trump tax cuts: 35%

After the Trump tax cuts: 21%

What many corporations actually paid with loopholes: 14%

What Netflix, Bank of America, and Nike paid: Less than 5%

What Trump’s planning for a second term? Even more corporate tax cuts.

They don't want revenue they want those coveted campaign donations to the super wealthy. If they paid their fare share, Republicans and Democrats both would suddenly have no problems due to a lack of funding. The government wouldn't have to shut down because the money will always be there. They can get more money so easily from billionaires than nickel and diming the poor and middle class. How is this not a bipartisan agreement? Money is money.

In the 1960s, CEOs made 20 times the pay of their workers.

Now, they rake in over 300 times.

When people stop believing they have a fair chance to make it, the tacit social contract begins to unravel.

That's how a nation becomes susceptible to demagogues like Donald Trump.

The top 10% of richest Americans own 87% of stocks.

The top 1% alone own roughly half of all stocks.

It's worth pointing out once again that the stock market is not the economy.

Dollar General is a sell now because their systems are breached to the point of me losing $50 .
