We need an economy that works for all, not just the billionaire class.

Every dollar of federal expenditures goes to pay to someone or corporate profits. MAGA’s don’t say reduce corporate profits or increase taxes, so when they say they favor balancing the federal budget but don’t hurt themselves, they mean hurt someone else.
