Wall street and banking regulation. Tax reform and capital gains tax hike, minimum wage, overtime and labor rights.

We need to call republicans out on their hatred of the poor and love of the rich.

It still blows me away that we let Bush take overtime away from millions of people and nobody called the republican out on it. Its time for labor in this country to demand a life back and to demand if you make me work more you pay me more.

Its the workers that increase wealth for the 1%. Now its time the workers to start increasing wealth for themselves.
