    This is a disgusting comment. And remember: Schwarzman isn’t just any old billionaire — he is Donald Trump’s billionaire adviser who cut a GOP super PAC a $5 million check right after the GOP gave him a giant tax cut
  • Schwarzman is worth $17 billion. He would pay over $1.1 billion more in taxes under Bernie's plan to tax the extreme wealth of the top 0.1%. Schwarzman also compared Obama to Hitler when he tried to close the carried interest loophole. Disgusting.

    I’m not going anywhere. But billionaires can be damn sure they’ll pay their fair share when I am president.

    Defeating Trump is not enough. We need leadership that will fight for working families and the shrinking middle class, not just the 1%. That is exactly what I have done my whole life and what I am prepared to do as president.

    “The only effective answer to organized greed is organized labor.” While the media carries on about polling, Bernie is quietly building a movement of working class voters, the only real way to take on the lopsided power structure that got us into this mess to begin with.

    We have a wealth tax on the middle class and upper middle class known as 'property taxes' and it has not been repealed. It's weird that taxing the politically connected super-wealthy has so many implementation issues.

    ➡️ Our average donation: $19 ➡️ Most common profession: Teachers ➡️ Over 1 million donors ➡️ 99.9% can give again We don’t need billionaires. We don’t need a super PAC. We have the people, and that is much more powerful.
  • Meet the opponents of our wealth tax: ✅Steve "foreclosure king" Mnuchin ✅Gregory "outsourcing is good" Mankiw ✅Larry "repealing Glass-Steagall is great" Summers ✅Jamie "a recession would be good for my bank" Dimon Judge us by the enemies we have made.
