'Not a Radical Idea': Bernie Sanders Unveils 32-Hour Workweek Bill

"It is time to reduce the stress level in our country and allow Americans to enjoy a better quality of life," said Sen. Bernie Sanders. "It is time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay."

Sen. Bernie Sanders on Wednesday introduced legislation that would establish a 32-hour workweek in the U.S. with no loss of pay, a change the Vermont senator said is necessary to ensure the working class benefits from massive productivity gains and technological advances.

A 32-hour workweek “is not a radical idea,” Sanders, chairman of the Senate Health, Education, Labor, and Pensions (HELP) Committee, said in a statement, noting that productivity gains have far outpaced wage growth in recent decades.

“Today, American workers are over 400% more productive than they were in the 1940s. And yet, millions of Americans are working longer hours for lower wages than they were decades ago. That has got to change,” said Sanders. “The financial gains from the major advancements in artificial intelligence, automation, and new technology must benefit the working class, not just corporate CEOs and wealthy stockholders on Wall Street.”

“It is time to reduce the stress level in our country and allow Americans to enjoy a better quality of life,” Sanders added. “It is time for a 32-hour workweek with no loss in pay.”

Why Should Our American Government Force Disabled Workers and Healthy Workers to Pay Medicare Taxes for a Future They May Not Live Due to Life-Threatening Diseases such as Diabetes, Heart Attacks and Cancer in Our 40s and 50s in Ages, to THEN Be Forced by Medicare to Pay $20 and $50 Copays in Medicare if You are Disabled or Reach Retirement Ages 62-70!??? Let US Vanquish This Stone-Age Medicare! An American Earning $3,000 per Month in Social Security Retirement Benefits is Forced to Pay $450 in Earned Income Taxes and Over $1,000 in Medicare Premiums, Copays, Deductibles, and Out of Pocket Expenses, Leaving Hardworking Retirees with Less Than $1,600 per Month in Social Security, While High Rents are $2,500 per Month with Absolutely No Public Housing or Section 8 Allowed! Meanwhile, Disabled Americans Trapped with $1,200 to $2,000 per Month in SSDI are Forced to Pay Over $1,000 per Month in Medicare Premiums, Copays, Deductibles, and Out of Pocket Expenses, With Absolutely No Medicaid Allowed, Leaving SSDI Disabled with $200 to $1,000 of SSDI! Quit Eating Shit, Fellow Americans! We MUST Privatize Social Security and Eliminate Both Social Security and Medicare Taxes So All Americans Can Own Their Very Own Condos, Townhouses and Homes, as Private Property Rights and Liberties Republican USA President Thomas Jefferson and English Revolutionary Theorist John Locked Advocated for, Way Better Than Spending $1,000 More Per Month in High Rents Endlessly With No One Inheriting from Their Parents and Grandparents!

Biden delivers stark warnings about potential second Trump term at star-studded fundraiser

President Joe Biden delivered a series of warnings about a potential second term for Donald Trump during a Los Angeles fundraiser, describing the 2024 presidential election as a crucial moment in American history. Biden criticized Trump's actions on January 6 and his recent inflammatory remarks. The event, featuring former President Barack Obama and moderated by Jimmy Kimmel, raised over $30 million for Biden's reelection campaign.

Biden highlighted concerns about future Supreme Court appointments and criticized the current Court's conservative rulings, particularly the overturning of Roe v. Wade. He and other speakers, including First Lady Jill Biden and Obama, emphasized the dangers they believe a second Trump term poses to democracy and the rule of law. Obama and Biden both called for a focus on core American values and honesty, urging voters to remember the negative aspects of Trump's presidency. The event also included entertainment from celebrities like George Clooney, Julia Roberts, and Barbra Streisand.

Bernie Sanders Refuses To Attend Netanyahu Address To Congress - MTC REPORT

An open letter to the U.S. Congress

Expand Social Security by Taxing the Rich!

1,122 so far! Help us get to 2,000 signers!

If nothing is done to strengthen Social Security’s finances, starting in 2034, Social Security will only be able to pay roughly 80% of benefits owed. Thankfully, there’s a fiscally responsible easy solution to this future shortfall that doesn’t impoverish seniors or their families: Make the wealthy pay their fair share! Senator Bernie Sanders has introduced the Social Security Expansion Act of 2023, which would increase benefits by $2,400, extend the lifespan of the Trust Fund by 75 years and do much more to solidify this bedrock of working-class prosperity. And, it’s completely paid for by scrapping the payroll tax cap on incomes over $250,000―meaning that millionaires and billionaires would finally start paying more of their fair share. In the House, Rep. John Larson has previously introduced the Social Security 2100 Act: A Sacred Trust, which would affect just the top 0.4% of wage earners. It would fulfill the promise of our Social Security system by improving benefits for millions of seniors living in poverty and extending the lifespan of the Trust Fund―once again, paid for by making the wealthy pay more of their fair share. Instead of Republican proposals to raise the retirement age or directly cut benefits, Congress needs to scrap the Social Security payroll tax cap on the wealthy. That means that while working people won’t pay a dime more in Social Security contributions, millionaires and billionaires will finally be paying their fair share all year long. Good!
