“Corporate America gets all the benefits of American stability and fiscal policy, but bears none of the responsibility.” – @JonStewart sat down with Treasury Sec. Janet Yellen back in Season 1 to discuss how America treats its workers.
Difficult. Hard. Challenging.
That's how Washington state families describe their experience finding affordable, quality child care.
We've got to do better—that's why I'm reintroducing my Child Care For Working Families Act to tackle the child care crisis head-on.
@UniqueSamson69@johnjhii Boy if I had to start with a number, how about something that makes it so they don't have to utilize government programs to survive
@johnjhii@UniqueSamson69 It would be far easier for both Walmart and the government to agree that Walmart needs to pay a living wage rather than track how much money is being accessed via govt by Walmart employees and taxing them (easier for Walmart in terms of compliance, not profits)
@johnjhii@UniqueSamson69 I think what John's point ultimately is is that Walmart wouldn't necessarily need to pay more in taxes if they paid their workers enough money to not need to access government programs in the first place.

@Bubblebathgirl@Phil_Lewis_@AOC Please read the Budapest Memorandum. We specifically agreed to aid Ukraine if attacked by Russia in exchange for their denuclearization
@Phil_Lewis_@AOC Fran Drescher is fine with Biden giving $100 billion from the taxpayer to Ukraine for a war that has nothing to do with the United States.
Drescher has lost her right to criticize how anyone spends their money.
SAG-AFTRA President Fran Drescher: "How they plead poverty that they are losing money left and right when they give $100 millions to their CEOs."

@Oregonian Keep pumping the poison into your bodies. Big pharma loves the profits. Who needs an immune system when you’ve got so many shots to choose from???
@KOINNews Overplayed hand when you made them ineligible to be back in office by vote. Nuclear option, it worked. Now you have nothing to hold over them…. What you gonna take away? Way overplayed hand instead of working with them. Marxists.
@AlaskaAir hey can you get your San Francisco people to figure their shit out? Plane got delayed for 6 hours (not your fault, probably) but then passengers were told the new plane was going to be early, only for it to actually be even more late than before.
The number of reminders I get prior to an appointment comforts me that apparently so many other people also forget their appointments that everyone needs 6 reminders in the 3 days before it and an extra 2 the day of
@blairgbest Ask reality-based questions, like why is it a kid can't get a tattoo or buy cigarettes, but they (democrats) think children can make life-altering choices about removing genital & taking hormones? Republicans are right to use any legal routine to protect children from mutilation.
It’s been almost one week since Oregon Senate Republicans staged a walkout in protest of what they’re calling a violation of senate rules.
We’re in the Capitol today where Senate Democrats will soon hold a press conference in response to “Republicans walking off the job.”
@RtRider_LGBFJB@MamaS2329@PattyMurray Full time child care costs 10k+ a year, so if you paid no state taxes at all you'd still owe another 2.5-5k, and then we'd have no jails, schools would have no funding, we'd have no police or fire, many would lose insurance
@Batchakemino@MamaS2329@PattyMurray Most likely between $5000 and $7500 a year! We buy from our local community! When we were in childcare mode, $900 a month or 25% of our income! More than we pay now in state sales tax with less than half of our current income!
@DeannaMariaR1@SpencerPI@PTRUMPFORTX2020 That report is based on a method created by some Reagan stooge. States gain rank by using the federal minimum wage, no taxes on inheritance, and whether businesses can strong arm employees
