This budget bill would raise after-tax incomes of the highest-earning 10 percent of American households on average by 2.3 percent a year over the next decade. It would deliver its biggest benefits to the top 0.1 of 1 percent of households.

At the same time, it would lower incomes for the poorest tenth by 3.9 percent, or by about $1,600 per year per household — mostly by cutting spending on health care (Medicaid), food assistance (food stamps), and other programs that benefit the poor and working class.

The Trump Republican “One Big Beautiful Bill” would be a disgrace under any circumstance. At a time when inequalities of income and wealth in America are wider than they have been in more than 80 years — with the richest Americans taking home near-record amounts of both — and the deficit and national debt already at record levels, the bill is utterly shameful.

Mary Elizabeth Walton 1846-1912 was a nineteenth-century American inventor who was awarded two patents for pollution-reducing devices. In 1881, Walton created a method for reducing the environmental hazards of the smoke emitted from locomotive, industrial and residential chimneys. Her system deflected the emissions being produced by factory smokestacks into water tanks, where the pollutants were retained and later flushed "into the sewer, or into other suitable channels for conducting them to a distant or any desired locality".[1] This water tank system redirected smoke, odors, and pollutants away from the city and out of the air before society had even come to a true understanding of the problem. The extent of the problem known was a dark cloud that hung in the air and an unpleasant odor, yet Walton inadvertently also helped to reduce air pollution and cancer-causing coal smoke.

Imagine a world where empathy is taught as a subject, as fundamental to education as math or science. In Denmark, this vision is a reality, and the ripple effects can be felt across generations. Teaching children how to understand and share the feelings of others can fundamentally change the way we relate to one another, fostering compassion and understanding.

Spirituality teaches us that we are all interconnected, and by nurturing empathy in our hearts, we can heal the divisions in our world. This act of deep listening and kindness allows us to build communities grounded in care, love, and mutual respect.

How do you practice empathy in your daily life? Can you imagine a world where every child grows up equipped with the tools to understand and support others? Let’s discuss how we can foster a more compassionate world together 🌍💕
