The economy is supposedly doing well, but your #paycheck isn’t. #Billionaires add millions to their wealth every day, but you’re told to “just work harder.”
What if the problem isn’t you? What if the #system is designed to keep people struggling? What if billionaires and corporations were taxed the same way you are?
#UBI shifts the balance. It gives power back to #people instead of #corporations
#UBI isn’t just good #policy - it’s #feminist
Unpaid labor holds #women back. Childcare, elder care, emotional labor - none of it is valued under #capitalism
UBI means recognizing all #contributions not just the ones that come with a #paycheck
Given it is #InternationalWomensDay - let's make UBI a reality and vote for it in any and all elections 
Living #paychecktopaycheck is more common, even when the #paycheck is higher
12% of #Americans live in poverty according to the governments own published statistics.
43 million live with such extreme #food #insecurity that they regularly have to miss meals.
66% of Americans live #paycheck to paycheck without any #savings to fall back on, including those earning more than the median wage.
60% of #bankruptcies are caused by unpayable #medical #debt.
But apart from those things, everything is going very well....
"If you're working hard, & your #paycheck is getting stretched, beyond the breaking point, & you're worried about rent, & you're concerned about the price of gas, it's understandable," #Obama said.
The thing #Biden & the people who support him need to communicate is: "Who do you think is actually going to look out for you?" Obama said. He made clear he did not think #Trump would meet that test.
I have be advised of the "Ticket to Work" program, but you may only work 20 hours a week, and after nine months, every penny you make comes out of your #paycheck (I hate thinking of it as "pay", but when it's all you are allowed to have, that's just what it is.)
