The most important thing you'll ever read. It can't be emphasized enough that when the Eienhower top tax rate of 91% was degraded to 70%, then to 50% by Reagan—and now only 37%—it allowed the wealthiest to take control of our country for their own highly damaging purposes.

Not three months ago, Bondi and Patel stated unequivocally that there was nothing more to investigate (but that is indeed the reason the will give for not releasing the files now)
Instead of just releasing the Epstein files, Trump ordered the DOJ to investigate Democrats and AG Pam Bondi is complying.
Are they setting up a pretext to block the release by arguing the files are now part of an active investigation? I’m not saying that would work, but he’s desperate to block.

53% of Americans believe billionaires are a threat to American democracy.
Meanwhile, just 100 billionaire families spent $2.6 billion on federal elections last year — a 160-fold increase since Citizens United.
The people know: billionaires should not be able to buy our elections.

Trump is having his DOJ pay himself and his friends millions of dollars, and Republican Senators put a $500k payoff to themselves in the shutdown bill.
They’re stealing our tax dollars while telling you the mom on SNAP wanting to buy a box of cookies for her kids is the problem.

Senate Republicans don’t want to bring in Jack Smith to testify before the American people to ask him why he subpoenaed limited phone data on 8 co-conspirators to overturn the election, they just want a quick $1 million check from the taxpayers instead.

Biden didn’t release the Epstein files because Merrick Garland was actively investigating Epstein/Maxwell co-conspirators all the way up until January 2025. Then Trump shuttered the probe. www.cbsnews.com/news/jeffrey...
House Democrats press DOJ for details on Epstein co-conspirators probe that was "inexplicably killed"
Survivors of Jeffrey Epstein provided the Justice Department with "precise and detailed" information about 20 alleged co-conspirators, House Democrats say.

Murphy: "It's clearly the biggest scandal in presidential history. He wouldn't be acting this way if he wasn't so deeply worried about what's in those files. What we've already seen is immensely incriminating. Clearly Trump was at the center of a child sex ring ... the scandal could bring him down."

Count the ways they’re corrupting DOJ: Presidents don’t direct AG’s to open criminal cases, especially ones designating only Dems for investigation when POTUS himself is involved. DOJ doesn’t publicize criminal investigations & the AG definitely doesn’t assign them on Twitter.
