Why is anyone a billionaire while their workers struggle to pay the bills?
The rich have used their influence to rig our economy and democracy to serve themselves, scoring massive tax breaks paid for by gutting programs that serve working families.

Trump insists his new ballroom won't cost taxpayers a dime because companies like Amazon, Google, and Meta are footing the bill.

Health care makes up 18% of the US GDP, which has led private equity investors to spend $1 trillion on health care acquisitions in the last decade.
