When you get in the driver’s seat, you sing “Inside of you” every time, right? You have to.

A 5lb bag of cuties contains 24 oranges and costs $6.00. That’s $.25 per orange. Javier got paid $.01 per orange picked. The person who put in the most labor per orange is likely getting the smallest cut.

Sadly, we saw this same thing happen last time. Lie after lie exposed. Zero accountability. Still somehow gained voters.

We need to adjust the messaging on this issue. The response is always “so you want to tax people and give more to the government”. We need to immediately shut that down by saying that we don’t want it to go to the government; we want it to go back to the workers. A high marginal tax will do that

I’ve been saying this same thing forever! Finally, we have someone to tackle the major health issues in this country like…riboflavin. Now if you will excuse me, Imma go back to eating my burger, fries and coke (that tastes even more delicious in this plastic straw). HEALTH FOOD!

If there is one thing that conservatives excel at, it’s cooking up ridiculous stories to distract people from their successful efforts to re-distribute wealth to the American Oligarchy.

The messaging needs to change. “Pay their fair share” does not resonate with conservatives because they only view it as giving more money to the government. The benefit of a high top tax rate is that profits are given to employees, not the government. Thsts what people want to hear.

Any conversation about any topic other than income inequality is a distraction. The Oligarchy want us fighting about every other issue.

Anybody who parrots the talking point that our current inequality "has always been the norm in America" is actually using Capitalism’s propaganda
The inequality of the past 45 years is NOT normal American inequality. It is not normal inequality in Europe either. It’s a parasite on the middle class.

Medicare is broken? No dude. Its not. People on medicare are actually able to get health care without the fear of bankruptcy. while the system may lack efficiency, no system is perfect. Fix the lack of efficiencies, dont advocate wholesale change.

Jeff, its not going to gain traction because the political left allows the right to dictate the conversation. It is the only thing (thats hyperbole btw) that the left should be talking about.

Bernie Sanders sent waves across this country with a uniting message about income inequality. It resonated with a lot of folks. We were actually talking about it. Then the wealthy united under Trump. Now we are bickering over stuff that doesnt materially matter. I will fight for a better future

Its only because of statements like that that we wont. The one thing the left and right agree on is that the rich have too much money and we need to find a way to unite under that one message, but the wealthy keep us distracted with other things so we do nothing about it and say defeatist things
