The reason you can’t afford a home, healthcare, or retirement is because billionaires took your money. If you want these things you have to take it back.
CEO pay is up 1,085% since 1978, while typical worker pay is up just 24%.
Why do we always hear "we can't afford to pay our workers more" but never "we can't afford to pay our CEO more"?
