What they like to call 'radical', I believe is common sense, Jason.
I believe that in the wealthiest nation in the history of the world, when a person gets sick, they shouldn't go bankrupt.
Common sense.
I believe that a minimum wage should cover the minimum cost to live.
Common sense.
And by the way — we should see that not paying a minimum wage is corporate welfare, because big companies like Walmart and Amazon rely on the food stamp program and public coffers to cover the wages that they won't pay.
I believe that homes are not slot machines for investors and Wall Street to extort working families out of every last dollar that they have.
When your landlord jacks up your rent overnight, or housing prices skyrocket because Wall Street treats our housing market like a casino, your government should fight for your ability to keep an affordable roof over your head.
And I believe that our elected officials should take on abuses of corporate greed everywhere they find it.
That is why I don't — and never will — take money from industry lobbyists or corporations. We deserve better.
Now, our movement for real progress for everyday people will have to push harder than ever these next four years.
Help us continue the fight by making a grassroots donation today.
In solidarity,
Alexandria
