BREAKING: "It is theft!" James Talarico unleashes a show-stopping takedown of failed "trickle-down economics" and explains EXACTLY how billionaires are robbing us blind.
This message is resonating with a hell of a lot of Texans...
"This is the rot at the core of this broken system. It's why we can't afford anything. It's why we can't get ahead no matter how hard we work," the Democratic Senate candidate said. "For 50 years, billionaire mega donors have been buying politicians like Ken Paxton, and then those politicians turn around and rig the rules of the economy in favor of those billionaires at our expense."
Paxton is the perfect avatar for the kind of corrupt crony capitalism that Talarico is criticizing. This MAGA crook was impeached by his own party as state attorney general for accepting bribes. He's never met a corporate donor too dirty to take money from. He exists to enrich himself and serve the powerful oligarchic powers that are stripping this country for parts.
"They have been stealing, stealing from the American people with bribes, with bailouts, with billionaire tax breaks," said Talarico. "They have been selling us a lie that the best way to motivate the people at the top is to give them more of our money."
"Trickle-down economics is not a theory. It is theft! They have been stealing the wealth that we all created," he went on. "It's why everything sucks right now. It's why people are so angry. Because the American people aren't asking for a lot..."
"A job we don't hate, a house big enough to raise a family in, and a little left over to go on vacation every once in a while. That is harder than it should be. Harder than it should be in America," he said.
"We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis. We don't have a government of, by, and for the people. Things would be different if we did," said Talarico. "We have a government of, by, and for the billionaires. The system is working exactly as it was intended to work."
More and more Americans are waking up to the truth that Talarico is sharing here, which is exactly why Republicans are cranking up the dial on their "communism" screeching. They can't argue against our need for affordable housing, healthcare, and groceries so they resort to pathetic Cold War fearmongering. They're absolutely terrified that we are going to unrig the system and give everyone a fair share in the American economy.
With bold candidates like James Talarico leading the way, we can take back our country!
Please ❤️ and share if you agree with James Talarico!
A man got off work and discovered that his dog had run the 24 kilometers from his house to his job and was waiting for him on top of his car.
Dogs are the only living creatures in the world that love unconditionally.
🔥 @jamestalarico: “The only minority destroying America is billionaires: Trans people aren’t taking away our healthcare. Muslims aren’t defunding our schools. Immigrants aren’t cutting taxes for themselves + their rich friends… It’s billionaires & their puppet politicians.”
The corrupt Trump administration has just admitted to withholding taxpayer dollars from states based on how they voted.
Last I checked we were a democracy, not a dictatorship.
Where the hell is Congress?
Tomorrow, the House will vote on the NDAA, which includes a provision to merge parts of our military with the IDF.
This amendment is an existential threat to American sovereignty and democracy.
Every member of Congress must vote NO.
Tonight I heard a failed and desperate president who as war spirals and prices rise is as always focused on his grievances, his shame, and above all his fear of the accountability that will come with defeat.
I also heard a president signaling his unmistakable intent to attack these elections and our voting rights, just as he tried to throw out our votes and seize the presidency in 2020.
Our answer will be overwhelming.
Across Georgia a wave of defiance is building to rebuke him so decisively that no president ever again dares such brazen corruption and abuse.
The power of the presidency is nothing compared to the power of the people.
Notice how it's always "America was founded on Christian principles!" until it comes to welcoming the immigrant, helping the poor, feeding the hungry, bringing healthcare to the sick, forgiving debts, caring for our planet, laying down our swords, or loving our neighbors.
My good friend Smirk is really hurting and going through a tough time and could use some help. If you have a bit to spare for one of my oldest friends on twitter you have my sincere thanks. A retweet is also free! 💕
