In 2018, Elon Musk paid $0 in federal income taxes. Most Americans pay 14%+ of their income. He pays the same into Social Security as someone making $184.5K — a sum he made just 15 minutes after midnight on New Year’s Eve. Trillionaires shouldn’t exist in a moral society.
I’m proud America is co-hosting this year’s #WorldCup. It should be a moment of global unity. Instead Trump is denying entry to referees & athletes from countries he doesn’t like. I want the world to know: most Americans don’t think like him. This is not who we are.
Should we spend a reported $100 BILLION on a reckless, illegal war of choice… …or should we cancel more than half the medical debt in this country? Trump made his choice. What’s yours?
MacFarlane: What do you think your constituents think about this slush fund? McGovern: They think Trump is a corrupt son of a bitch who doesn’t give a shit about them.
In just over 100 days, our government has burned through a reported $100 BILLION on Trump’s reckless war of choice with Iran. With that money, we could cancel more than half the medical debt in the U.S. Trump has plenty of $$$ for defense contractors. Nothing to make healthcare more affordable.
