Make America Grift Again

Trump's Tax Cuts Helped Billionaires Pay Less Than The Working Class For First Time

For The First Time In History, U.S. Billionaires Paid A Lower Tax Rate Than The Working Class Last Year


Federal Deficit Estimated At $984 Billion, Highest In Seven Years

Republicans are increasing the deficit, in part, by not taxing the richest Americans.  Again, avoiding paying their fair share and using taxpayer dollars as their own piggybank to reward their cronies.

Reject The Status Quo

Billionaires shouldn't exist.  You might be bright, make good financial moves, or even invent magnificent stuff.  You shouldn't be able to hoard generational wealth at the expense of the country that allowed you to do such.

Big tech, and other mega-companies, should be made to pay their fair share and not be allowed to dodge taxes.

Our elections should be fair and free from private money influence.  Citizens United needs to be overturned.

Climate change should be a priority.

American infrastructure needs immediate attention.  From clean water, to clean energy, we need a massive rebuilding of our country's infrastructure to remain relevant and competitive.

These are some of the things Bernie Sanders and Elizabeth Warren have been campaigning for during this election cycle.

If the majority of citizens actually want change that benefits the majority of citizens, these are the two candidates that will fight for and deliver such change.  None of the other candidates have shown such consistent, principled and passionate convictions regarding these issues.

Anything less, the status quo will carry on.
