It fell on Chicago teacher Sylvelia Pittman to ensure her students were fed over Thanksgiving. What if instead we had a budget that prioritized community well-being over corporate interests? inequality.org/article/tax-...
Tax the Rich or Burden Working Families? The Choice Is Clear.
As a teacher in Chicago, I've seen how prioritizing the wealthy leaves the rest of us wanting.

Outside Washington, pretty much everybody wants to crack down on overpaid CEOs. Good to see a glimmer of bipartisan action with this bill. It would ban utility exec bonuses if rates rise faster than inflation + cap bonuses at 25% of median worker pay.
Utility CEOs are cashing million-dollar bonuses while Upstate families are choosing between heat, medicine, and groceries.
I just introduced a bipartisan bill to stop utility companies from paying CEO bonuses while ratepayers get crushed.
Enough is enough.

Don't be fooled by the new Republican health care proposal. A new report by @sanders.senate.gov shows that the proposed health fund accounts would make health care costs even less affordable.

Same product. Same store. Same time. But on Instacart, different customers may see different prices.

A deeply skewed tax system allows major American fossil-fuel companies to avoid paying their fair share, according to a new FACT Coalition report. While the firms studied extract more than half of their oil and gas domestically, they only pay 18 percent of their total taxes in the U.S.
