Maybe there's a problem with an economic system which sees a handful of billionaires grow their wealth massively during a pandemic, and zoom around space in rocket ships, while millions of people struggle to keep a roof over their heads in the richest country on Earth.

New parents in Sweden are guaranteed: - 480 days of paid leave - 80% of normal wages during that time New parents in the U.S. are guaranteed: - 0 days of paid leave - $0 of your wages during any time off How does that make sense in the richest country on earth?

The upcoming congressional election in Ohio has everything to do with the future of the Democratic Party. Will Democrats stand with the working class and have the courage to take on wealthy special interests? I know that @ninaturner  will, which is why I strongly support her.

It is not radical to suggest that seniors in the richest country in the history of the planet should be able to afford to keep teeth in their mouths.

Here on Earth, in the richest country on the planet, half our people live paycheck to paycheck, people are struggling to feed themselves, struggling to see a doctor — but hey, the richest guys in the world are off in outer space! Yes. It's time to tax the billionaires.

For decades, we have ignored the threat of climate change, a crumbling infrastructure, a disastrous child care system, a massive need for affordable housing, that we are the only major country not to guarantee paid medical leave. Our budget must meet the needs of this moment.

The next time you hear Republicans start to talk about 'family values' this or 'party of the working class' that, remember: every single Republican in the House and the Senate voted AGAINST giving working families direct monthly payments of up to $300 per child.

The American people should not be made to pay the highest prices on the planet for prescription drugs.

What would it mean for you and your family if we took on the pharmaceutical industry's greed and dramatically lowered the cost of prescription drugs in this country?
