Everyone who has a 401k also added to their retirement. Nice job conveniently leaving that out 🙄

Never have I felt more disgusted

disgusting parasites

Ghouls.

Motherfuckers

Tax these fucks

The SenateGOP HouseGOP has rigged the game for the rich.

TAX THE RICH also cant help but laugh at the picture that appeares to show a billionaire o face as he realised no one has noticed the economic collapse has effected him in no way

😒🤦🏽‍♂️

It's long overdue for billionaires to pay their fair share of taxes.

take every fucking penny of it

And stupid players cut 50% of their salaries. Roy Keane was right.

Folks should read Harrison Salisbury -Black Night White Snow ,about the Russian revolution.

FlipEVOL What a stupid tweet.

And wouldn't it be nice if they gave 1/2 to charities to help Americans?

IF they play launching rocket more, i'd accept.

Seize & distribute

That's $9400 profit per individual filing for unemployment. IN ONE MONTH. $9400/month to every unemployed person = zero economic crisis and all billionaires still get to be billionaires. DanPriceSeattle AnandWrites

Вурдалаки пьют вашу кровь и грабят, пока вы сидите по домам без работы и средств к существованию.

During that same 23 day period 18,265 Americans died from coronavirus. So, for perspective, they made $15,439,364 per death.

This isn’t new! Bernie was real change! Americans will get kicked down year after year and nothing will change how they vote! Greed and lobbying (legal corruption) is acceptable at a level other countries wouldn’t Under Obama wealth inequality accelerated Think about that!

Had you had a CPU governing and you'd have had scientific evidence guiding the way. Instead, for every problem we keep selling the solution. That is our main problem. Science and technology should be there to provide a better living for all, not profit for companies. Endless loop

In a depression there is the same amount of money, if not more, it's just that poor people were making a lot less money, and run through their savings, and rich people are never going to save us, even though they have more money than ever.

Yeah, because they own the companies that benefit from the lockdown. Dumbasses.

Take that money and give it to the 30 million unemployed.

A one time covid tax of 5% for everyone with wealth over $5 million. If Congress were to function properly the deficit could be significantly less and the burdens alleviated.

Stock market is booming. Yet the real economy is tanking.

Send Billionaires to the hell.

Am here to express my gratitude to the greatest woman Mama Shemaine for the good work she did i was really in the state of quagmire when my husband made a decision to leave me for another woman.And she indeed saved it and our financial status. +27827082265 Whatsapp +27679156013
