Socialism is what they called public power.
Socialism is what they called social security.
Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.
Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.

They resist because they are sick. Fuck 2% I say 50% and that's not even as high as it once was and those rich family's still did just fine paying 90+%... Allowing people to acquire these vast amounts of cash is putting too much power in their hands. I've yet to see any good come from this.

A 2 percent wealth tax is like shaving off a fraction of a spire from a large cathedral, says economist Nancy Folbre.

Families are paying over $200 more a month this year compared to last year.
Meanwhile, Republicans are increasing your healthcare costs and pausing SNAP benefits.
Democrats are coming back this week to fight for healthcare, lower costs, and an end to the Republican shutdown.
