Meanwhile, the wages of the bottom 90% have seen just 44% growth.
Trickle down economics was always a hoax.

Remember that the people on the Signal chat include the US negotiators on Ukraine. It is no wonder that Putin is twisting them around like taffy at the county fair.

STRESS KILLS.
60% of Americans live paycheck to paycheck, struggling every day to keep their families going.
The result: working class people die 7 years earlier than the rich.
We need an economy that works for all, not just the few.
