Interesting to call this “confiscating” when it’s just making the rich pay their fair share, especially considering all the stolen wealth from the bottom 99% and historic tax evasion.

Social Security keeps older Americans from dying penniless. Without social security, your relatives will be living with you on your dime.
Most importantly, social security provides dignity and decency to retirees.

Elon Musk tried to correct Bernie Sanders about insulin, and ended up getting fact checked by his own platform 🤣🤣
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
(Oh and... note that Bernie says the patent for insulin was sold in 1923, which is true, and Elon "corrects" him by saying insulin was discovered in 1921... that's also true, but shows that Elon Musk lacks basic reading comprehension lmao)
Oh! And, the reason the patent for insulin was originally sold for $1 had nothing to do with the price of insulin... it was because Sir Frederick Banting, the scientist who discovered insulin, intended for it to be free. He famously said that insulin does not belong to him, it belongs to the world.
He sold the patents to the University of Toronto for $1 because under Canadian law, $1 is the minimum anything can be sold for, when legal ownership changes hands. If you want to gift a car to someone, you have to sell it to them for $1 in order to legally transfer ownership. Same rule applies to patents.

Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) is pushing harder for a cease-fire in Gaza and demands that the United States send “not another nickel” to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
“My view, not another nickel for Netanyahu’s government if he’s going to continue this wholesale slaughter of the Palestinian people,” Sanders told MSNBC’s Alex Wagner Friday.
Sanders’ declaration comes just days after the death toll in Gaza surpassed 30,000 people since the start of the war on Oct. 7, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry. More than 100 Palestinians in Gaza City were killed and more than 700 injured Thursday, when Israeli soldiers opened fire on the people scrambling to access humanitarian aid, some media outlets reported.
Sanders, who recently voted against sending more aid to Israel for its war against Hamas, stressed the importance of stopping the “unprecedented humanitarian disaster.”
The Vermont senator argued that President Biden, who has put pressure on Netanyahu and Israel to scale back its attacks, is taking “an important step forward,” but argues that “we need to do more.” Biden said Friday that the U.S. will begin airdrops of aid to Gaza amid negotiations for a cease-fire.
Sanders said Biden should be telling the Israeli government to open borders so trucks of food, water and medical supplies that are critical to the more than 1 million refugees in the region can be delivered.
During the interview, Sanders said that “it’s totally absurd” that the United States is sending humanitarian aid to civilians in Gaza, but also supplying Israel with the funds and military capabilities to hurt those civilians.

“The taxpayers of the United States must no longer be complicit in destroying the lives of innocent men, women, and children in Gaza.”

32-hour work week is the result of increased worker productivity. Workers earned it.
Compare to Republicans who want you to work until you're 70 while they attack your earned benefits.
