How far do politicians think $1,200 can stretch? We need to give Americans $2,000 a month until we make it through this crisis. Ro Khanna and I have a plan to do it. Read my op-ed here: marketwatch.com/story/one-1200…

50% of people making under $30k have lost income due to the virus 30% who make over $45k lost income Billionaire wealth is up 11% in 6 weeks The top 1% captured 95% of income gains after last recession. At this rate we'll be in for a repeat phys.org/news/2020-05-c…

When you hear "we can't afford that," remember the government just gave $135 billion to millionaires in the bailout act Not to help their companies hit by covid. Just a random tax break tucked in there Split that up & stimulus would've been about $2,000 nytimes.com/2020/05/23/opi…

A random guy literally ran for president, raised millions, and cracked the top 6 candidates on this issue - and we STILL aren’t freaking out about this smdh

$2k a month to Americans until we get out of this mess. If the big banks were in a free fall DC would act. This is most efficient way to stabilize families. Where are the family values we hear so much about? Joe Biden Ro Khanna Andrew Yang🧢⬆️🇺🇸

Here in Seattle a guy was in the hospital with covid for 62 days. His bill: $1,122,501. Just for perspective it takes 18 years for the median worker to earn that much before taxes/expenses. No wonder medical bills are Americans' No. 1 cause of bankruptcy seattletimes.com/seattle-news/i…

Our Tax Amazon movement has made history! Seattle City Council just voted to pass an Amazon Tax on the largest corporations to fund affordable housing & jobs, to begin to end racist gentrification. This is entirely because of the thousands of working people, unions, socialists!

China didn't take your job. A CEO decided to pay someone far less to do your job and keep the profits A robot didn't take your job. A CEO decided to pay a machine $0 to do your job and keep the profits The narrative is important it takes the blame away from the decision maker

When I graduated college in 1968, the typical corporate CEO got 20 times the pay of average worker. When I became labor secretary in 1993, the ratio was 61-to-1. Today, the ratio is 320-to-1. The system is rigged, friends.
