Donald Trump is spending millions of dollars refurbishing the Lincoln bathroom and building a ballroom for himself and his rich friends while millions of Americans are about to lose their snap benefits. ☠️

When people say 'run government like a business,' they mean cut services, raise prices, and pay the CEO 400 times more than the workers.

JUST THE FACTS: Kroger's profit was up 35.6% from '22 to '23, and Publix was up 49% from '22 to '23…

That's why Food prices are so high!
Corporate Greed run amok!
Just in case you were confused about why the price of everything keeps going up and mistakenly concluded it was inflation https://t.co/EiSRvRtpsy

Upwards of 50% of the price increases you've seen at the grocery store since the pandemic began is from nothing more than corporate greed.

Corporate Health Care Lobbyists: Medicare for All would lead to rationed care.

Gallup: A record-breaking 38% of Americans were forced to delay needed care last year because it was too expensive.
The greed of private health insurance companies is literally killing Americans.
Norfolk Southern stock buybacks to shareholders in 2022: $7.5 *billion*

Amount of workers Norfolk Southern laid off in 2022: 9,600
There is no length they won’t go to funnel money to their shareholders, at the expense of workers. The problem, as always, is corporate greed.
The Fed raised interest rates again. That’s the eighth consecutive hike. They say even more are coming.

This puts workers and consumers on the frontline of fighting inflation.
But corporations largely responsible for driving up prices get away scot-free.
It's outrageous.
Wall Street is curtailing the promise of homeownership by buying up single-family starter homes. It needs to stop. Americans deserve the opportunity to buy a home and build wealth.

No. The problem is not that the working-class got a $1,400 direct payment 19 months ago and the dude at Arby's got a 50 cent raise a year ago. The problem is that corporations are making record profits by jacking up the price of everything. The problem is corporate greed, boss.

Make no mistake: Companies are using inflation as a smokescreen to hike prices and rake in record profits. 2021 was the most profitable year for American corporations since 1950.

The underlying problem is not wage-price inflation.
— Robert Reich (@RBReich) September 25, 2022
It’s profit-price inflation.
The Fed’s rate hikes will hurt average workers by slowing the economy — making it harder for workers to get wage increases and causing many to lose their jobs.
FYI: Manchin isn't preserving the filibuster based on principle. He's operating based on power. His corporate donors want to keep the filibuster intact. It’s how they block all progress and protect their bottom lines. It really is that simple.

ExxonMobil, Shell, Chevron, and BP earned more than $75 billion in profit last year. Those record profits have continued this year. Maybe this has something to do with gas prices. 🤔
