No, Mr. Trump. [View all]

Short video here: https://substack.com/@peoplepowerunited/note/c-51498484

“No, Mr. Trump. At a time when one out of four seniors are struggling to survive on less than $15,000 a year and nearly half of older workers have no retirement savings, our job is not to cut Social Security and Medicare. Our job must be to expand these programs so that every senior can retire with the dignity and respect they deserve. And the way to do that is by demanding that the wealthiest people in America pay their fair share of taxes, not giving them another massive tax break as Trump has proposed.” - Bernie Sanders
