Health insurance companies stole $20.5 billion from taxpayers last year.
Privatizing Medicare breeds corruption, the buying of politicians, and a transfer of wealth to insurance CEOs and their investors while seniors pay more to receive less.

Last year, Washington state enacted a wealth tax on capital gains profits of the richest .2%.
It was fought tooth and nail by billionaire-funded groups & passed by one vote.
In one year, it's raised $850 million for child care & school construction—triple what was expected. 🧵
I’ve really enjoyed @fandsf under the stewardship of @blackpotmojo. There’s such a nice variety of stories and poems, there’s at least one you’ll love each issue. #ReadingCommunity #WritingCommmunity

As an aside, only some governors attract attention nationally, and their record after securing a governing majority has nothing to do with it. Tim Walz is a mild-mannered former social studies teacher from a rural area, so he doesn't excite anyone. His record should!

Soviet Russia’s food shortages were frequently held up as proof of the Communist system’s failure to provide for its citizens. But here in hyper-capitalist America, tens of millions of people are going hungry.
