From 1947 to 1979, wages and productivity rose in tandem, driving broad-based prosperity. After 1980, productivity kept climbing while wages and compensation stalled. This disconnect defines the Great Regression, a period in which workers produce more but receive far less in…

It’s insane to think about the fact that banks made $89 billion in overdraft fees this past year. That’s $89 billion they took from people who literally have no money.

Jennifer Welch just torched the lie in one breath: “The GOP trained people to hate anyone who needs help, while billionaires loot the country and call themselves job creators. The real parasites aren’t the poor. They’re the billionaires.” That’s the scam. Exposed.
