Mike Rogers has the audacity to lie to you about his plan like he didn't vote 4 times to stop you from getting cheaper medication from Canada, take $1M from Big Pharma, and vote 19 times to keep prescription drug prices higher. GTFOH.

The amount of Amazon workers relying on SNAP and Medicaid has nearly tripled since 2020 — while Amazon’s annual profits soared by over 550%. It’s the same story everywhere: corporate profits are at record highs, while workers’ share of the economy is at a record low. We must unrig the system.

Secretary of the Treasury Bessent is trying to deny the "K-Curve". From atop the curve where billions of $$$ have flown it is apparently difficult to see that a 2% wage gain for workers is more than offset by an inflation rate of 3.5%.

Amazon workers on federal aid nearly tripled between 2020 and 2025. During that time, Jeff Bezos saw his net worth jump by $139B as Amazon profits hit record highs. No corporation as profitable as Amazon should be paying its workers so little they must rely on food stamps and Medicaid to survive.
