31 years ago this month, I warned that America was becoming a two-tiered society composed of a few winners and a larger group left behind, whose anger and disillusionment could be easily manipulated.
I took a lot of heat for this speech. Watch and tell me if I was wrong.

Our rigged system in a nutshell.
When the rich become richer, they can use their vast wealth to pour money into our democracy and rig the system to enrich themselves even more.
We must get Big Money out of politics.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 50 years has shifted $80 trillion from the bottom 90% of Americans to the top 1%.
That’s $80 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of the working class.
The greatest trick of all is trickle-down economics.

Gosh, I remember when we had an actual president instead of a loudmouth bully who won't take responsibility for his actions.

Trump blaming last night's tragic crash on "DEI" isn't just racist nonsense.
It’s part of his divide and conquer strategy.
He wants to get us so riled up against one another that we don’t look upward and see where all the power and wealth have gone.
