TheVoiceOfJoyce Don’t listen to the Polls, do what’s right for the American people & you’ll be rewarded. The People want fundamental change: Stimulus checks, child care, unemployment insurance benefits fir the long term unemployed, new job creation with Infrastructure. Go it alone , if necessary, and go big. We need millions employed. We need the entire population vaccinated. Access to retraining. We’re losing Healthcare physicians & front line workers to Covid burnout, while many refuse Vaccination. Corporations can insist on Vaccinations for a return to work. RapidTests are a start. If Biden wastes time on an uncooperative GOP, Americans will suffer!

TheVoiceOfJoyce So you’re against increasing taxes on the ultra wealthy. Why? You think they’re entitled to over 1000 x’s more income than you? Really, think again. I ran a small business, I earned a good living @2-3 x’s my employees. I wasn’t wealthy, I gave sick leave, paid vacation & decent wages to everyone, plus healthcare. I kept my business running with mechanics on payroll, good years or bad. What gas Corporate America done? They furloughed their workers and collected huge salaries for themselves. For them it’s a beautiful life, for everyone else, we have no income and we paid taxes to support our society & theirs. Do you want decent wages, benefits, healthcare, education for yourself & families, than support taxing the wealthy & we the People won’t need unemployment. We’ll have new jobs in new industries, guaranteed. Think big and demand change with opportunity for all.

April 19, 2021

Who has POWER! Democrats have held the White House and the Senate in 4 of past 28 years. GOP presidential candidates lost the popular vote in 7 of the last 9 elections. Trumps GOP is a game of Power and money for themselves. Winner take all Politics has served the GOP well. By controlling Gerrymandering, … More TheVoiceOfJoyce /Power!

TheVoiceOfJoyce We are already affected by Republican Gerrymandering. The Democratic Party represents 41.5 million people more than TRUMPSGOP and have less seats in government. If these voting laws pass , the American Majority will be permanently underrepresented and Laws will continue to favor Income Inequality, unequal justice and limited opportunity. They have no plans for Infrastructure. Broadband. Trumps GOP is concerned with profit for the few, while the rest of contend with educational, healthcare & connectivity issues. Minorities in GOP states are not getting the vaccine, because access has been denied. We the People want change now! Jobs now! Justice now!

TheVoiceOfJoyce Now that many Billionaires want to give back to society, Governments should encourage a progressive wealth tax on estates of $50 million and up. Starting at 2%at $50 million. Total assets taxed according to Piketty, the French Evonomist ( he’d tax 5-7% of total assets) Warren would start at 2%, the IMF concurs !

TheVoiceOfJoyce Pollution claims almost 9 million lives annually. Coupled with acidic oceans , climate chaos, tainted water & more , Renewable energy has caught our attention. The Infrastructure Bill proposed, will pass with or without Bi partisan support. It must, it’s bringing fundamental change to millions at decent wages.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Infrastructure Plan promises clean water. It’s not just lead & arsenic. In many town in North Carolina, PFAS, the forever chemicals remain, causing cancers, asthma and decreased fertility. We have a lot to lose without fundamental change and clean water resources are a priority.

TheVoiceOfJoyce Employers added 916,000 to their payrolls. If Vaccinations continue and Pandemic wanes, Business slated to add at 500,000 per month for the next year. That won’t bring us to lower unemployment, since 3.5-10 million Americans are not in the system. With new Infrastructure in the plans, it’s time to employ those discriminated for age, gender & disabilities. We can make this year a boom year for Everyone.

TheVoiceOfJoyce The Trump tax cut enabled CEO’s to increase their salaries, while workers wages stagnated or ended with the Pandemic. Most corporations added an extra 10-18% to their bottom line and no tax loopholes were closed. 28% is a reasonable amount of tax to pay , along with tax loopholes, that encourage off shoring work. American workers need a raise and a stake in management decisions. When taxation was at 91% for the Uber wealthy our Country was most productive, profitable& people earned more. We had a solid Middle Class. Let’s resurrect them now! Give us New jobs and new industries !
