Greed fuels wealthy & corporations demands for tax cuts. More and more for them is NEVER enough.

They’ll NEVER approve cuts to Police, Prisons, or Military.

SSecurity and Medicare cuts are the next battleground for regular Americans —for more tax cuts for the rich.

#GetReady
Americans have paid into Social Security and Medicare over their entire working lives. But to give more tax cuts to wealthy and corporations it has come from these vital programs to give the wealthiest even more $.

They’ll tell you, “we have no choice.”

#TakeItFromThePoor 💰
Republicans and even your precious Democrats who the American public so foolishly trust claim that America spends too much on this or that...

They’ve dumped $50 billion a day into the stock market to hold it up for 4 months.

How will we pay for THAT?

“BUT HOW WILL WE PAY FOR IT?”

“Why is it this question arises only in connection with useful ideas, not wasteful ideas?”

“Where were the ‘pay-fors’ for Bush’s $5 trillion wars and tax cuts, or for last year’s $2 trillion tax giveaway to billionaires?”-AOC

At some point, if central🏛banks create too much money, they will produce an increase in inflation–too many dollars chasing too few goods. đŸ˜©đŸ†˜đŸ‡șđŸ‡žâš ïž

This is a high stakes game.
