By enslaved people stripped of all human rights, women in wartime factories, miners in company towns, and immigrants seeking better lives.

Tax cuts for high-income people DO NOT stimulate the economy. Those people buy all the goods and services they want regardless of taxes. Increasing minimum wages and infrastructure projects actually inject money into the economy at a 2.3x multiplier, because recipients re-spend that money.

Whenever you hear conservative politicians preach from the gospel of "fiscal responsibility," remember that one of the biggest drivers of deficits lately are the Bush and Trump tax cuts, which have added nearly $10 trillion to the national debt.

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.
