Remember this when kids are going hungry, when seniors and their families can't afford long-term care, when you get those higher medical and energy bills every month.
And remember the tax cut they gave billionaires like Jeff Bezos when he throws himself another $50 million party.

Workers and community supporters picketed against the museum’s decision to fire four workers and threaten the jobs of six more in retaliation for them exercising their right to form a union.
