US citizens: phone your senators to support taxing the rich more.

Here's a suggested script to say.

Hello, my name is _____________ and I’m a constituent of the senator’s. I am calling to urge Senator _________ to support the tax reform plan being put forward by Senator Wyden and Majority Leader Schumer. It will raise the revenue needed to fully fund the Build Back Better plan by making the rich and corporations begin paying their fair share of taxes. Senator Wyden’s tax plan includes the Billionaires Income Tax, which I strongly support. It is critical that billionaires start paying taxes on their investment gains each year the same as workers like me pay taxes on our wages each year. Again, I urge the senator to support Senator Wyden’s tax plan and his Billionaires Income Tax. Thank you.

Dutch right-to-die activist Wim van Dijk announced that he has sold a suicide powder to 100 people, and calls for a national debate about assisted suicide.

This manner of distributing means for suicide has a drawback: the same chemical might well serve for murder. It is surely possible to craft rules that will enable people to commit suicide if they firmly and persistently want to do that, while making other effects unlikely.
