This is a broken health care system. While 23 million Americans owe $228 billion in medical debt, 178 CEOs of healthcare companies made $3.2 billion in compensation in 2020. UnitedHealth alone made a record $24 billion in profits last year. Yes. We need Medicare for All. — PolitiTweet.org

Shocking. Gas prices are at the highest levels ever at the same time the big oil companies are raking in huge profits. Yes, the time is now for a windfall profits tax. https://t.co/6ObFF3jKFB — PolitiTweet.org

Starbucks claims to be a “progressive” company that values its “partners,” yet it's firing workers for "the crime" of being pro-union & spending millions on a union busting law firm. I say to Starbucks: Stop the union busting. Stop the coercion. Treat your workers with respect. — PolitiTweet.org

The time is now to invest in public education. I am proud to stand with @MFT59 educators who are on strike for decent pay and better working conditions. — PolitiTweet.org

This is what oligarchy looks like: Today, the 10 richest people in the world own more wealth than the bottom 37% — 3.1 billion people. We need a national and global economy that works for all, not just the few. The struggle continues. https://t.co/77hO6flgkT — PolitiTweet.org

Starbucks workers have now voted to join unions 6 out of 7 times. Union elections will soon be held in over 120 more shops. The movement to unionize Starbucks is spreading like wildfire. Now, would be a very good time for Starbucks to end union busting & embrace this movement. — PolitiTweet.org

A multi-billionaire with a superyacht should not pay less in taxes than a firefighter. — PolitiTweet.org

I'm proud to endorse @JasmineForUS for Congress. Jasmine understands that we need progressives in Washington who will fight to make it easier to vote in this country, who will fight for the rights of workers, and who will fight for an economy that works for all of us. https://t.co/veaKIywiVj — PolitiTweet.org

Last year, 5 big oil companies made $154 billion in profits, spent $13 billion in stock buybacks & handed out $69 million in compensation to their CEOs. Today, gas prices are over $4, up more than 40 cents in 1 week as a result of unprecedented corporate greed. Unacceptable. — PolitiTweet.org

In the midst of Putin's horrific invasion of Ukraine, I want to express my solidarity with the many thousands of Russians who are out on the streets protesting the war. In an authoritarian society, they are risking their freedom and lives. They are showing incredible courage. — PolitiTweet.org

Global oligarchy is on the rise. Between 1995 and 2021, the top 1% captured 38% of the increase in global wealth, while the bottom 50% captured 2%. The share of wealth owned by the global top 0.1% rose from 7% to 11%. Children go hungry. Billionaires buy yachts. Not acceptable. — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
We have elections in this country which are dominated by big money and corporate interests. And whether or not our democracy survives depends on if we stand up together and put a stop to growing oligarchy. https://t.co/pgkgDk98eD — PolitiTweet.org

I have so much respect for the incredibly brave people in Russia who are risking so much by being out in the streets protesting what their corrupt president is doing. https://t.co/RKYWQqflld — PolitiTweet.org

Worker productivity is up 62% since the 1970s, yet wages have barely budged in the same period — meanwhile, CEOs in this country have seen their pay explode by 1,322%. Does anyone REALLY think CEOs are working 1,322% harder than they did in 1978? — PolitiTweet.org

The 30 Major League Baseball owners are worth over $100 billion. The value of their teams increased by more than $41 billion since they bought them. Mr. Manfred: End the lockout. Negotiate in good faith. Don't let the greed of baseball owners take away our national past time. — PolitiTweet.org

Now, more than ever, those of us who believe in democracy and justice must work to bring working people all over the world together. Instead of hate & divisiveness, let us take on the greed & ideology of the top 1% and fight for economic, social & environmental justice. (14/14) — PolitiTweet.org

None of these oligarchs should be allowed to park their yachts, fly their jets, sleep in their mansions, or stash their cash offshore during the war in Ukraine. But much more must be done to stop the movement to oligarchy not just in Russia, but all over the world. (13/14) — PolitiTweet.org

While people in Ukraine and Russia suffer, Putin owns a 270-foot long super yacht that he took out of Germany before the invasion of Ukraine. Putin’s yacht is equipped with a gym, a saloon, a spa, a library & a 49-foot indoor pool that can be converted into a dance floor. (6/14) — PolitiTweet.org

In 2017, it was estimated that Putin was worth $200 billion which, at the time, made him wealthier than Bill Gates & Jeff Bezos combined. No one knows how much Putin is worth today, but 22 other Russian oligarchs have a combined net worth of nearly $300 billion today. (5/14) — PolitiTweet.org

The hidden offshore wealth of Russia’s oligarchs amounted to about 85% of Russia’s GDP in 2015. While 18 million people in Russia were living in poverty last year, Russia’s 120 billionaires owned $588 billion in wealth equal to 60% of the total household wealth in Russia. (4/14) — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
The top 0.01% in Russia has stashed over two-thirds of its wealth offshore, while the top 1% in Russia owns as much wealth offshore as the rest of the Russian population holds onshore. Globally, the rich & powerful have stashed at least $21 trillion in offshore tax havens. (3/14) — PolitiTweet.org
Bernie Sanders @BernieSanders
Incredibly, the 500 richest people in Russia with a net worth of at least $100 million now own more wealth than the bottom 99.8% of Russia’s population - 145 million people. This is the type of inequality that exists not just in Russia, but throughout the world. (2/14) — PolitiTweet.org
