Renaming Veteran’s Day and the planned “Trump Military Parade” is a playbook straight out of North Korea. Draft-dodging Trump is now flexing the might of the US Military, but its not for our enemies to fear. It’s for you. The administration wants you to fear their Dear Leader.

This is what a rigged economy looks like:
In the 1970s, CEOs made 27 times more than the average worker.
In the 1980s, CEOs made 48 times more than the average worker.
This decade, CEOs are making 354 times more than the average worker.
That has got to change.
