remember when senators got coronavirus briefings before the public and sold off millions of dollars in stocks before the crash last year and faced no consequences and no regulation? then reddit made one stock into a meme and they’re talking about restructuring the whole market

Just a friendly reminder that if you make under $75k your taxes are going up beginning this year and will increase every two years. You can thank 45 and the @GOP for this gift. They made the stepped increases part of the 2017 “tax cuts.”
