You must have less so billionaires can have more.
Fox guest on how to save money during the holidays:

"Remember, adults don't need gifts. Focus on the people in your life who are aged 3 to 18. Grandma doesn't need slippers. If they don't live by you, don't get them a gift."

As all this disgusting Epstein shit starts surfacing more and more, I hope we don't lose sight of the fact that apparently every major media outlet knew everything and instead spent their time money and energy attacking the trans community.

pretty funny in retrospect that QAnon hinged on the idea that powerful elites at the highest levels of government were smart enough to talk in code when sending emails to each other about their despicable crimes

Take note of all these people turning out for protests in small towns in red states.

Remember them the next time you’re inclined to write an area off because “they voted for this.”

ICE kidnapped a 7th-grader with a pending asylum claim and spirited him out of state without notifying his parents, seemingly with the cooperation of the local police in Everett, MA.

One example: In the 60s The Black Panthers started a program to feed kids free breakfast who couldn’t afford it and would have otherwise gone to school hungry. It was so effective that J Edgar Hoover had FBI agents raid kitchens and destroy the breakfast food so it couldn’t be served to them.
The Black Panthers weren’t just infiltrated because they were Black, they were infiltrated because their communist ideology had began to influence not just Black people, but other groups within this country

Communism was working and the FBI and CIA went through great lengths to stop the spread

Yeah, pretty much this.

If you think they were mad before? Wait til they've seen the movie. It's actually SHOCKING a major studio released its biggest movie in this form, at this moment, in terms of how explicitly it's *about* exactly what's described here.
I totally get why the right is melting down about SUPERMAN. It's explicitly about how they're genocidal weirdos interested in extra-legal rendition camps & ethnic cleansing areas they want to build resorts on because they have deep-rooted inferiority complexes based on what pathetic dorks they are.

Every year, the Supreme Court’s nine justices fill out a form that discloses their financial connections to companies and people.

Using our database, you can search for organizations and people that have paid the justices, reimbursed them for travel, given them gifts and more.

Now that we’ve seen the full Senate text, we can say for certain: either the House or the Senate version would be the largest transfer of wealth from the poor to the rich in a single law in history.

Each have the largest Medicaid and largest SNAP cuts ever. And each give huge tax cuts to the rich.
