Funny how that works

What I always hear: “We can’t afford to pay our workers more than $15 an hour.” What I never hear: “We can’t afford to pay our CEO millions of dollars a year.” Funny how that works.

See the problem

Walmart and McDonald’s are among the top employers of workers who rely on food stamps. McDonald's CEO raked in $18.2M last year — over 1,000x the company's median employee pay. Walmart's CEO pocketed $27.4M — 930x the company's median employee pay. See the problem?

The blame belongs with Wal-Mart

Whenever people complain about the number of folks relying on food stamps, it is worth reminding them that SNAP is, by too large of a degree, a subsidy for corporations that refuse to pay a living wage and their political allies who reject public policy prescriptions to reduce income inequality.

We have a very serious problem

The 400 richest Americans are now worth a record $6.6 trillion. The entire bottom 50% of America is worth just $4.2 trillion. Read that back. When 400 people control more wealth than half a country’s population, we have a very serious problem.

An immigrant doesn’t stand between you and a good job. A billionaire does.

Ever-expanding inequality

60% of American households can’t afford a minimal quality of life. Meanwhile, the 19 richest households saw their wealth increase by $1 trillion in 2024 — the biggest one-year increase ever. Our problem isn't a lack of resources. Our problem is ever-expanding inequality.

Big Beautiful Bill...for rich people

Sen. Chris Murphy to NBC on Democratic opposition to the GOP mega-bill: "What we're standing in the way of is the most massive transfer of wealth from the poor and the middle class to the rich in the history of the country."

Equal pay for equal work

I do not think in the year 2025 that we should continue to accept a reality which sees women paid just $0.75 for every $1 men are paid for doing the same job. If we want to achieve economic justice in this country — that means equal pay for equal work.

The GOP: of the rich, by the rich, for the rich

It helps to explain what the hell is going on if you realize that the goal was always self-enrichment for billionaires and never efficiency.

Working exactly as designed

Capitalism leads to monopoly. It isn't failing. It's working exactly as designed, concentrating wealth and power at the top while leaving 99% to suffer. If it were truly effective, we wouldn't need 800 military bases worldwide to enforce it or suppress societies that adopt alternative systems.

So much hell wrought by Reaganomics

You don’t need to prescribe to the neoliberal economics to understand basic economic reality: the rich are obscenely rich and the middle class is disappearing thanks to decades of Reaganomics.
