The SAVE ACT suppresses the votes of married women. The GOP veils this horrific bill saying it prevents non-citizens from voting. That’s a lie. Non-citizens are already barred from voting.
This bill is intended to strip away a married woman’s rights.

79 Trillion away from the people and toward the 1% www.rand.org/pubs/working...
Measuring the Income Gap from 1975 to 2023
The author extends the results of prior work on the income gap between the bottom 90 percent of workers in 2023 and what they would have earned with an even growth rate from 1975 to 2023. These workers would have earned $3.9 trillion more.
