Monday

love them some Republicans. After all, they are the party who advocates for paying employees as little as possible and working toward a world where the tax burden is 100% on those who aren't wealthy.

Oh, and no regulations whatsoever on business for anything.

Of course they have more money on hand, the oligarchs are getting everything they've wanted for years.

What we ordinary people can afford to donate is a drop in the bucket...and our drops are becoming smaller as prices of everything rise, seemingly daily.
