BRAVO! That's it in a nutshell. Now it's up to the Electoral College to decide who will be president because I have no doubt that a large majority of voters want to tax the rich.

Pretty strange "Democracy".

If the Dems sweep all branches of government they must institute significant democratic reform.

MAGA is anti-democratic at its core. It is a fundamental rejection of our founding myth: majority rule, minority rights.

This election decides if majority rule is possible.

@rbreich Bring back 1986 tax rates

@rbreich has anyone yet suggested or hinted that the supposed attempt at assassination might have been planned by Trump?

@rbreich
How could anyone think it's a far fetched idea that Trump sold classified info?
Trump would sell his children to save his own orange skin.

@rbreich it's amazing how easy it is to pump up the economy when you're doing it at the cost of our civilization. It's so cheap and lazy.

@rbreich
He is basically nothing but a mob boss. Extortion, kickbacks, whatever can make him and his cronies a quick buck.

Caring about our future...

Not so much.

@rbreich Call me crazy but maybe judges should BE elected by the people.

@rbreich it would at least give a better impression of the administration of genuine Justice.

@rbreich
I’ll go a step further.

Senators and Representatives in Congress don’t get to vote during an Impeachment when they are known to be complicit.

We wouldn’t have a Trump problem if this were the norm.

@rbreich Not true.
Nothing terrifies them more than not being ludicrously rich.

@rbreich it’s not like they have the tools Biden had with the rail workers. What do you expect them to do?

@rbreich

Full support for any lawsuit trying to protect individuals and businesses right to a jury trial.

Hopefully reform can be done to the NLRB that benefits both sides.

@rbreich Fuck CEOs, they're just slave drivers for the company owners. The real problem is the incredible growth in the wealth of the top 1%.

@rbreich

Foremen

Foremen everywhere

@rbreich

Note that the rich do not contribute much to FICA because of the cap, so the fund shrinks in relation to inflation.

@rbreich Mark of capitalism's dominance over the government. Pretty much an oligarchy now.

@rbreich sir, could you please provide the source for this information?

@rbreich greed! Guess they needed that extra to build their own apocalypse proof, underground bunker?

@rbreich EAT THE RICH 🤑

@rbreich so true

@rbreich I've written off all MAGATS (republicans). They're no different than any other criminal enterprise.

@rbreich how do we impeach him?

@rbreich
Because the chief justice has no courage (and no ethics) and Congress can't, or won't, impeach and convict.

@rbreich You can be sure what republicans would be doing if shoe were on the other foot

@rbreich This is what happens when Republicans are in charge. Honesty and decency are thrown to the wolves.
Lies and corruption step in.

@rbreich #Unpack the #FailedRobertsCourt now! It is a white nationalist, Christian, theocratic body (in direct opposition to separation of church and state) and is legislating fringe, junk politics and prejudices from the bench. It is illegitimate and needs to be fixed asap! Mount a well funded grass roots lobbying machine to make it so. #UnpackTheCourt ! #Politics

@rbreich

Why are Democrats mostly silent when it is their side?

Blumenthal - Vietnam
Byrd - Ku Klux Klan member
Pelosi - insider trading
Rangel - not only not paying for his "fair share" of Taxes, but not paying them at all.
Biden - Chinese and Ukraine kickbacks. Ukraine quid pro quo.
Blinken - Hunter laptop "Russian Disinformation"

@rbreich Repealing the #GOP tax cuts should be the answer to articulate in negotiations and the media. And bring back the 90% top tax rate, and initiate a wealth tax. All these should be obvious. The super rich are robbing everyone else and making the poor fund the country, and baiting the ignorant into fighting over crumbs to keep them too busy to see the truth. #Politics

@rbreich Followed you for a long time. Wondering. How much of the debt is from the massive Reagan tax cuts? I have thought for years now that they would be the largest part.

@rbreich exactly

@rbreich sad to say we will, and we will lose our democracy before abandoning delusions of easy riches and fame.

@rbreich No, but Dick Durbin is.

@rbreich We will, because people don’t understand or care about the things which don’t immediately impact them in their current moment.

@rbreich
In Heisenberg $.

@rbreich
You have never replied to a single person here have you Mr. Reich. Doesn’t that seem a bit odd?

@rbreich he lost predicted future value that stems from the manner in which he is expected to employ capital lent to him by others. Fantasy money.
Musk is a fantasist, but then, so are you.

@rbreich we have to come together and build a way to stop them! #WeAreTheGuardrails is a great start! Building a coalition to save democracy! We’re not going to be fooled by their Russian lies.

@rbreich agreed with this a hundred percent.

@rbreich TWW: The messenger is not the origin, look past and expose why they would deceive. Beware the overt deception repeated.
*Once discovered what to do about deception and corruption becomes the more important. I had a simple boatyard rule: ‘Don’t come to me with a situation and no solution’. That was long ago and I’ve mellowed but the rule still applies. I read / hear much in media that alerts me to horrific situations, seldom with well thought out and projected solutions. OWOP

@rbreich Bottom line is no punch line

@rbreich

@rbreich Looks like right now we have reached approximately the "trickle down eco" with regards to public perception

@rbreich and despite this they fight for every cent as if they are minimum wage workers.

For example: Musk could have rid homself of Twitter for $1B. Instead he made the calculation that it is better to lose $44B and drive Tesla stock into the ground, rather than pay the penalty

@rbreich Is there a source for this please with further details?

@rbreich it’s immoral.

Did anyone think that pharmaceuticals are driven purely by humanitarian concerns?

@rbreich While the pandemic is still going on, no less. Absolutely reprehensible.

@rbreich yep

@rbreich
#UnionStrong #Unions #AFL-CIO

@rbreich ...isn't one of them Indian?

@rbreich 😂😂😂little socialist!

@rbreich Wealth Tax? I'd be happy if they just paid normal taxes. Or any taxes at all!

@rbreich Happy holidays Prof. Reich I hope you have lots of joy and family around you this holiday season. 🎄🎄🎄🎄

@rbreich If you work for someone else, you're being exploited. Work for yourself.

@rbreich Pretty much.

@rbreich Someone needs to pay the bills in America, the 1% have all the money after decades of trickle down economics.

@rbreich
Ah yes, but like the Universe noting Steven Crane's declaration of self-existence, it creates no sense of obligation in the economic system.

@rbreich what exactly can be done to change it? It’s been this way and steadily getting worse for the average person since I’ve become an adult, I was 18 forty years ago.
