Washington DC, The US Capitol grounds, November 30, 2017. That's Senator Ed Markey on the mic. Progressive activists and supporters gathered here for a "People's Filibuster" in opposition to a Republican tax plan designed to favor the rich at the expense of the working poor and middle class. If passed, the Trump endorsed legislation would add 1.5 trillion dollars to the national debt, strip the health care from 15 million Americans, rip off billions of dollars from Medicare for seniors and redistribute even more billions in wealth to the greedy, undeserving upper 1%. "Who could love such a plan?" asked one of the faith group speakers at the rally. "Satan!" was the reply from the crowd.
