We have a rigged economy. The top 1% owns more wealth than the bottom 90%. Three people own more wealth
than the bottom half of American society. This is morally obscene and economically unsustainable.

Corporate greed is destroying the middle class. CEOs make 300 times more than their average workers.
That's not capitalism, that's greed.

We need a political revolution. We need to take on the billionaire class. We need to make the wealthy
pay their fair share in taxes. We need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage.

Wall Street caused the financial crisis, and they got bailed out. Meanwhile, millions of Americans lost
their homes and jobs. We need to break up the big banks.

Amazon, one of the most profitable corporations in the world, paid zero in federal taxes. That's wrong.
We need to close corporate loopholes and make corporations pay their fair share.
