@atrupar Wish people had the same energy for: “I don’t think Bezos needs a $500M yacht and $100M car collection… maybe just $5–10M each.”
Wild (but not surprising) how the rich convinced the middle class that poor/marginalized groups are the enemy, while they keep getting richer.
There is nothing “common sense” about continuing to place profits over working class Americans. More and more people are starting to understand they deserve good and dignified lives, union jobs, to be able to afford rent, childcare and more. That’s incompatible with your continued servitude of the Billionaire class.
13 Democrats in Congress signed onto a pledge to “reject socialism” today. Combined, they’ve raked in a whopping $10,088,996 from the Israel lobby. Nothing moderate about that. Should we tally up their Big Tech donations next?
“It’s not conservatives, guys. This is fascism. You can’t reason with these guys. You have to crush them.”
If a liberal or leftist said this about MAGA, they’d be accused by Watters and Fox of trying to incite violence against them. But they can say whatever they want.
They are so afraid of you realizing there are politicians who can and actually want to make your life better and not just collect checks from lobbyists and corporations.
This isn’t a success story.
This is the story of a system designed to allow the obscenely wealthy and powerful exploit taxpayers and the working class to transfer wealth to themselves, while the majority of Americans struggle to afford basic necessities.
Graham Platner: “We have watched the largest transfer of wealth from the working class to the ruling class in the history of this nation. In 1990, there were fewer than 80 billionaires in the US. Today there are over 900. When you look around, do you see a state of Maine that is 10x wealthier? Do we have 10x the schools? 10x the hospitals? No. In fact, we have less. Fewer schools, fewer hospitals. There is no coincidence that in the time that has happened we have seen the existence of people like Elon Musk occur”
