I want working poor maga to stand in front of me and explain why they voted for this [View all]

...what the actual fuck is this doing for them?

Democrats @TheDemocrats
Last year, Democrats passed a rule to cap bank overdraft fees at $5.

Senate Republicans just voted to raise them to $35.

They’ll do anything to make the rich even richer. Even if it means raising costs for Americans.

Commercial banks donated $23,992,279 to elect Republicans last year.

Today, Republicans voted to end the cap on overdraft fees.

This is what corruption looks like.
