The End Corporate Rule Team has been very busy fighting corporate greed. We work against privatization, the destruction of the commons including our air, land, water and climate, Fighting the threat to our democracy caused by Citizens United and unlimited money in politics is a top priority.
Tom Price is now head of Health and Human Services; as a Representative he consistently voted to cut Medicare, Social Security and Medicaid. This week, when Senate Republicans confirmed Rep. Mick Mulvaney as Trump’s budget director they aimed a big gun at Social Security — despite Trump’s campaign promise to never cut it. Mulvaney is co-founder of the House Freedom Caucus, the most extreme element of the Tea Party. He described Social Security as a “Ponzi scheme” and argued that we must “end Medicare as we know it.” The fight against privatizing the social safety net is now on!
We fight for peoples’ economic survival. Our call is Wednesday, February 22nd at 9:00 PM Eastern. We would love to have you join us.
February Call Topics include Tom Price is now head of Health and Human Services; what does that mean for Medicare/Medicaid and Social Security?
