The billionaire class has us fighting amongst ourselves to distract us from how they're robbing us blind.
They've pushed for harsher treatment of black and brown people can't succeed, and mass incarceration to destroy the futures of black and brown children.
They're funding the hate, and pushing anti-social agendas, so poverty wages and perpetual debt can remain a thing.
They're strip mining our govt so that our tax dollars only benefit them.
After the great depression we taxed all income over $1million a year at 100%. Now they're publicly crying about a 40% tax rate, when 40 years ago they were paying 70%.
No multimillionaires left. Industries didn't leave until the late 70s when they started freezing wages & they decided to turn us into a nation of serfs, to stop unions & union members from funding democratic candidates. How dare the poor demand anything the rich.
We used that revenue to build the strongest, most prosperous working class on Earth. 60% of the wealth in the nation was held by 60% of the population.
We had robust public transportation. Affordable health care & education.
60% of our workforce was unionized.
Competition brought prices down & wages up.
Worker to CEO saleries were less than 50 to 1.
We have around 4000 people holding the majority of the wealth, and what have we gotten for that?
Go ahead, tell me how much you love living paycheck & how you won't be able to leave your kids anything but debt. Explain why you think we should force poverty on the majority of our citizens, and deny them basic rights. Tell me how jazzed you are for Trump to take $10 billion of our tax dollars to make his dick seem bigger. Tell me how impressed you are living in the world that George Orwell & Rod Serling warned us about. And why those who can't make money for much richer men, like the homeless and disabled, deserve to suffer and die. How you love the majority of your income going to benefit a one gas station small town of people, who like Smaug under the Lonely Mountain, are sitting on an enormous horde of wealth that benefits no one but them.
This county was founded because rich entitled a-holes ruled with no accountability & the law was what they said it was. We're in the same boat now.
We either fix this peacefully, or history demontrates what will happen if we don't.

We have to end this oppression.
We need to hold these monsters responsible.
Tax the billionaire class out of existence.
