Teachers can only deduct $250 in school supplies on their taxes, but billionaire Harlon Crow can write off his super yacht.šŸ˜

Why? Because millionaire politicians funded by billionaires & corporations write tax law for billionaires. We need a Congress for working peopleā€”not the .1%

This is yet another reason why my run for US Congress is 100% people funded. We need public servants accountable to people, not corporate funded politicians accountable to billionaires.

@QasimRashid But, but, working for the 0.1% is so much more 'fulfilling'

@QasimRashid we need a low fewer billionaires.
Theyā€™re like cysts, on the face of democracy.

@QasimRashid Outsider looking in to US politics, but it seems to me the main issue is gerrymandering (apart from voter apathy). Shouldnā€™t all efforts point to fixing this first?

@TamNZ @QasimRashid they need to implement the Jefferson method like a normal democracy. Every system with winner takes all is undemocratic.

@QasimRashid the wild part as a non American is the fact that teachers need to spend their own money on school supplies

@tafadzwa @QasimRashid Believe meā€” Americans think itā€™s crazy too. It wasnā€™t always like this. Schools were better funded in the 1960s and 70s. In the 80s, funding for public education and educators started to slide.

@batyalee @tafadzwa @QasimRashid seems like Reagan cut funding for everything in the eighties and republicans still donā€™t understand why thatā€™s a bad thing to do.

@frankmseattle @batyalee @QasimRashid insane behaviour for such a rich country

@tafadzwa @batyalee @QasimRashid Agreed. There should be no homeless or hungry in America. Unfortunately we have a system thatā€™s given the minority power over the majority, and that minority has retained the puritanical nonsense idea that being homeless/hungry/poor is a personal moral failing and not a systemic failure.
