Can We Fix Our Rigged Tax System?
For nearly a half century, trickle-down economic policies have resulted in a tax system rigged in favor of the rich. This is not only bad for our economy, but it’s leading to a billionaire takeover of our democracy as well. Watch.

15 House Dems just voted for HR 9495, which would give Trump power to name any advocacy group or nonprofit as “terrorist affiliated" with no due process.
Senate Dems must not let this attack on free speech come up for a vote during the lame-duck.
If it does, they must vote NO.

Hope that clears things up.
