When someone asks “how will we pay for [INSERT PROGRESSIVE POLICY],” show them this.

I’d rather our taxes be spent on programs that improve American lives than on killing innocent people abroad. This should not be a radical idea.

These days: not allowed to do a mocking chinese accent if you’re white or say you would beat up your son if he came out as gay

Back then: not allowed to come out as gay or denounce war crimes

geez hmm hard to see who had it worse….

People who complain about “PC culture” are really just complaining that the people who used to have to silently tolerate denigration are now empowered enough to ask for accountability for it.

they only noticed this because his productivity dropped below the company's levels and someone went down to shout at him.

I bet his position has already been filled. Employees are expendable resources to corporations, especially of this size. Another small example of the inherent cruelties of late stage capitalism.

no wonder france and britain went to war so many times w/ each other they’re the two most insufferable nations on earth and they are right next to each other

ERIN BURNETT: Senator Sanders, when you introduced your wealth tax, which would tax the assets of the wealthiest Americans, you said — quoting you, Senator — “Billionaires should not exist.” Is the goal of your plan to tax billionaires out of existence?

SEN. BERNIE SANDERS: When you have a half a million Americans sleeping out on the street today, when you have 87 people — 87 million people uninsured or underinsured, when you have hundreds of thousands of kids who cannot afford to go to college and millions struggling with the oppressive burden of student debt, and then you also have three people owning more wealth than the bottom half of American society, that is a moral and economic outrage. And the truth is, we cannot afford to continue this level of income and wealth inequality. And we cannot afford a billionaire class whose greed and corruption has been at war with the working families of this country for 45 years. So, if you’re asking me, do I think we should demand that the wealthy start paying — the wealthiest, top one-tenth of 1%, start paying their fair share of taxes, so we can create a nation and a government that works for all of us, yes, that’s exactly what I believe.
