Why are billionaires praised for donating a fraction of their wealth, but workers are shamed for asking for fair wages?
Philanthropy isn’t a substitute for justice.

3 people in the U.S. own more wealth than the bottom 50% combined.
That’s 3 billionaires holding more wealth than 165 million people.
This isn’t capitalism—it’s a broken system of greed.

Trickle-down economics promised that wealth at the top would benefit everyone.
Forty years later, the rich are richer than ever, and workers are still waiting for the ‘trickle.’

Meanwhile, the Walton family is worth over $200 billion.

Before weekends & fair wages, workers fought—and bled—for their rights.
My new 5-part series, “The Fall of the Working Class,” begins with the rise of unions in the 1900s & their fight against corporate greed.

Lee’s thread was quickly amplified by Elon Musk, who Donald Trump has put in charge of slashing our earned benefits.
This is a declaration of war against seniors, people with disabilities, and the American public.
