Senators, ex-president, congressman, the minions of Donald J Trump ?💰💰💰💰
Who❓❓
Billionaires also made major bank on trumps tax break to the top 1% on behalf of tax payers!! Maybe some of them might now afford a new yacht to go w their new villa!!
Give a handful of millionaires and billionaires tax cuts. Then here is 600 bucks. equality right??
Remember folks! This is the richest and most powerful country on surface of this earth!! How sad to see the imbalance society America is! Go fund poor Americans! Any Country out there wanna help?
Trump: Nobody helps the virus more than me since Abraham Lincoln

I can’t believe how heartless the landlords are. Any company or person who evicts people during pandemic should be EXEMPT from ANY covid-19 relief support. If you were evicted, contact Democrat representative, name your landlord and get justice.
There’s alot of cheating going on. The wealthy are finding the vaccine readily while I can’t get a shot for my 84 year old mother with a heart condition. America, this is not your finest hour.
National boycott is in order.
Where is the compassion and protection? America has a stain against its name forever.
Tax cuts for the rich, endless money for the military and cops, and none for the people who worked for it. America is dying.
What a sad state of America. Thanks Trump, such a great legacy of evil and death 👺
And Republicans fight against a decent living wage for people. They must be voted out!
They also made a lot of money in 2008 crash.
Mnuchkin is probably the landlord. The sad thing is if the much need income boost came the vultures won’t be far behind … utilities are first then others like gas and transit fares.
Junk news
Lately as I look around my once thriving community I have noticed ever increasing business’s shuttered, closed and foreclosed. Tent cities have sprung up and I don’t know how they survive in the winter. Soup kitchen and food bank lineups and a general air of despair in the atmosphere! I try to do my part and volunteer but this is way beyond me and I just don’t know what to do anymore!
