'We have chased large swaths of Americans into a box canyon and then blamed them for being trapped.' Abigail Disney took her criticism of the pay gap between CEOs and workers to Capitol Hill, telling lawmakers that the country needs to rethink the system

Abigail Disney plz run for president 💕

It’s a good thing we’re not a socialist country. 👍

Sounds like she needs to look into the facts before getting up on her soapbox
