The economy is supposedly doing well, but your #paycheck isn’t. #Billionaires add millions to their wealth every day, but you’re told to “just work harder.”
What if the problem isn’t you? What if the #system is designed to keep people struggling? What if billionaires and corporations were taxed the same way you are?
#UBI shifts the balance. It gives power back to #people instead of #corporations
#UBI isn’t just good #policy - it’s #feminist
Unpaid labor holds #women back. Childcare, elder care, emotional labor - none of it is valued under #capitalism
UBI means recognizing all #contributions not just the ones that come with a #paycheck
Given it is #InternationalWomensDay - let's make UBI a reality and vote for it in any and all elections
Today was my first official pay-day as a full-time employee instead of a contractor that I've been for over 8 1/2 years.
It's so nice to get a real paycheck with taxes taken out, benefits taken out and all of that.
Sucks that the government takes so much damn money, but it's going to be much nicer come tax time when I have to file!
"If you're working hard, & your #paycheck is getting stretched, beyond the breaking point, & you're worried about rent, & you're concerned about the price of gas, it's understandable," #Obama said.
The thing #Biden & the people who support him need to communicate is: "Who do you think is actually going to look out for you?" Obama said. He made clear he did not think #Trump would meet that test.
