New study finds WV to be only state worse off than it was 50 years ago — more tax cuts won’t help • West Virginia Watch New research affirms what the WVCBP has been warning for years: reducing tax rates doesn’t strengthen economies or raise households’ incomes.

Appalachia has always been akin to an economic HELL for working families. WV is a case in point. Republicans offer nothing to people in this region - or in any state. #Maddow #Velshi #WVHouse #WVSenate #WVPol #CaLeg #Sacramento

Why Family Homelessness Is America’s Overlooked Emergency Family homelessness is a hidden crisis in America, driven by skyrocketing housing costs and systemic failures.

So many 🇺🇸 families are in crisis & facing the streets. This is a policy choice. Learn more. The Fed & State Governments must step up to 🛑 this desperation. It’s all unnecessary. #Homelessness #PaHouse #PaSenate #CaLEG #Sacramento #MePol #Rutgers #WvHouse #VaPol

Trump is NOT a nationalist. Nationalist seek to care for their 'people' and favor a comprehensive welfare state.

Trump is a FRAUD & a vengeful NIHILIST that seeks to bring PAIN to the American People.

Gov. Morrisey wants to reduce spending. On inauguration night, donors spared no expense. Morrisey vowed “fiscal responsibility" as governor. His inauguration, funded by $1.2M in donations, included lobster, fireworks and VIP lounges.

Why do people in Appalachia & esp W. Virginia struggle w/constant medical issues, addiction & self hatred? Here's one of the BEST examples. A Republican governor feasts as the citizens that voted for him scrap for 🧻 at Dollar Tree.
