Socialism is what they called social security.ย

Socialism is what they called the growth of free and independent labor organizations.

Socialism is their name for almost anything that helps all the people.
โHarry Truman, 1952
Frankly, I didn't put 30% of my gross income into Federal,, State, Local taxes, health insurance and Social Security throughout my working life only to have it re-allocated into the profits of oligarchs. We see you and what you've become GOP... looking forward to some change in 2026 and 2028! ๐ฝ

Increase in hourly pay since 1979: 31%
Just so happens that ~25% of workers were unionized in 1979. Today? 10%.
As unions declined, the super-rich have taken a larger share of wealth generated by labor. We must build back union power.
The good news is that the constitution provides ways for Congress and the Judiciary to reign in a power-hungry president. The bad news is those people are all scared of him.

Today, billionaire political spending is up 160-fold since that ruling.
Citizens United is among the worst decisions in history. It corrupts our system every day.
Your April Fools' Day reminder that trickle-down economics is the greatest trick of all. It's nothing more than a cruel hoax designed to enrich corporations and the super-rich at your expense. Don't fall for it.
