McConnell said I'm pushing a 'socialist scheme'; he's wrong | Opinion
I wrote Mitch McConnell a letter proposing support for Medicare for All. His reply made his preference for our profit-dominated health system clear.

Disgusting. Trump says he feels bad for the seven Cornell students accused of rape, and his biggest worry is that they "won't get a fair shake" with Letitia James as special prosecutor. Not one word for the victim.

Many Americans don't understand our tax system--Earned income is taxed, but inherited stocks are not--unless they are sold. When billionaires need cash to buy a new car or villa, they can just borrow the money --using their stock holdings as collateral.
