The Kansas City Chiefs are relocating from Missouri to Kansas and getting a new $3 billion stadium.
60 percent of it will be publicly funded — despite the owners boasting a nearly $25 billion net worth.
This isn't the first stadium scam we've seen recently...

U.S. military spending is set to hit a record $1 trillion.
Roughly half of defense spending goes to private contractors that routinely price-gouge the government.
Meanwhile, the Pentagon has failed EIGHT straight audits.
This is the military industrial complex on steroids.

Poverty is a policy choice. Concentrated wealth is a policy choice. Inequality is a policy choice. None of it is natural or inevitable. Remember: We have the power to build a system that serves the many, not the powerful few.
