We are a country being divided on purpose by Oligarchs who are never satisfied with the most. They've stolen our government, denied our rights to healthcare and busted unions while saddling us with crippling debt. They are the real enemies of our republic.
Our Revolution Congratulations to Dr. Abdul El-Sayed on tonight’s historic victory! Michigan voters answered $62 million in outside spending with grassroots organizing. They proved that people-powered movements are stronger than corporate money. It always seems impossible until it’s done!

Billionaires use "Buy Borrow Die" to never pay tax. They BUY assets like stock. Instead of selling and getting taxed, they BORROW against them. When they DIE, heirs sell tax-free. Meanwhile, you pay your taxes on every paycheck. It's a scam and they wrote the rules.
