@BernieSanders The investment gives people jobs in the defense industry that doesn't go overseas. So they remain employed.

@PramilaJayapal We should tax the poor instead. And the more money you make tax less. That encourages people to work more.

I have been in Congress long enough to recognize a talking point designed to protect billionaires.
It usually sounds like this: taxing the wealthy will hurt job creation. Or: the rich already pay more than their share. Or: we need to grow the pie, not redistribute it.
Here is what those arguments never mention.
The richest countries in Europe have higher tax rates on wealth and better outcomes on housing, health care, and child care. And the 400 wealthiest Americans, who paid $600 million in lobbying last year, paid an average effective tax rate lower than a middle school teacher.
These are not complicated facts. They are just inconvenient for the people paying to keep the current system in place.
I am not paid to keep their system in place.
Tax the rich. 💜

🇨🇳 🇮🇷 BREAKING: China just did what the US refuses to do.
While Washington spends trillions on wars and blockades, Beijing is calling for the Strait of Hormuz to be reopened. A permanent ceasefire. No force. Just diplomacy.
Wang Yi said it on May 6. He said it again after the Trump Xi summit today. China is not waiting. China is acting.
The Strait of Hormuz carries 20% of global oil. China is the world's largest importer. Of course they want it open. But here is what the Western media will not tell you.
The US has had years to solve this. Years of sanctions. Years of naval deployments. Years of threats. And what is the result? The strait is still blocked.
