The difference between the haves and the have nots is mostly money. America is dividing into the wealthy aristocracy and the poor peasantry like Europe in the 19th century. It is not the way America was meant to be. Trump’s tax bill makes things worse.

I am over it! Women need equal respect. Poor people need equal respect. None of us are going anywhere without the rest of us.
