Rich people always manage to get the middle class and poor folks to blame other poor folks for all of our problems—while we’re all fighting each other, they’re getting richer.

In a ProPublica analysis in 2021: Over several years, billionaires Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Michael Bloomberg, among others, paid no federal income taxes at all.
ahhh, the birth of Reaganomics... ushering in the 'it's okay to offshore jobs & layoff workers as long as our stock prices increase" "it's because of demanding healthcare for fellow workers, raises are not in the budget this year - but hey, we took your pension fund & bought another company!"
I was in 6th grade when Reagan was elected. I still remember my 7th grade social studies teacher saying that if we didn't believe in Reaganomics we were all communists and deserved to die.
Middle class folk who want to know where their money went won’t find it in the pockets of immigrant laborers. They’ll need to check the pockets of billionaires.
Or don't listen to politicians all Americans realistically are poor or middle class and it's a game to the rich
It's not Republican or Democrat or independent or liberal, it's I'm rich your a bee worker
It's almost like there was another group of billionaires pretending to help the poor people by giving money to another party that pretends to help poor people when really they are helping all the other billionaires too.
LBJ was so right when he said, "If you can convince the lowest white man he's better than the best colored man, he won't notice you're picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he'll empty his pockets for you."
That's part of their plan. Divide us and create anger and distrust. Then it's that much easier to implement their plans, while everyone is too busy arguing and pointing fingers.
I agree. So what’s the plan? I think we cut off the supply of our hard earned money to greedy corporations and focus on local community building by buying local.
That has been their playbook all along. If we are always looking at other ethnicities and races and blaming them for our misfortunes, nobody is looking their way while they make bank and we all suffer.
Bc they have better messaging than we do. The Democratic Party needs leadership to ORGANIZE our great messengers and deploy a media agenda that reaches ppl where they are! Im afraid my freaking postcards for Kamala didn't pull it off!
My brother always said that it’s the greedy leading the gullible (who are also greedy but stupid which is what makes them such good marks for the con).
I’m so tired of their ignorance. What’s more ridiculous is how loud & proud maga are about it as if they won something really great for themselves rather than further hardship
I agree. But less so between WWII and Reagan when we had a much more progressive tax schedule. Since then wealth concentration at the top has been increasing dramatically.
