Thursday

Reverse income inequality

Raise the minimum wage

Make the wealthy pay their fare share of taxes.

Make corporations pay adequate taxes.

Make corporations behave in the best interest of society such as not allowing them to buy back their own stocks, instead of investing in production of goods and services.

We need to be talking about these things along with opposing the Republican abuses.
