Democrat's Response (Connolly) To The NLRB Hacking Is Pathetic

33. I'll go with that. The institutionalists are allowing billionaires courtesy of the 2025 plan, drafted at the behest of

Charlie Koch, to make our country into a theocratic plutocracy (read fascist dictatorship).

I just saw a Gallup survey and their results show that in their latest survey, the top problem recognized by 27% of Americans (40% of Democrats and 17% of Republicans) is our government and poor leadership. Think about that.

The second top problem? Taxes. 59% of Americans think their taxes are too high as it is. This is because of the systemic 'trickle down' economic effect, beginning with Reagan, of transferring more and more of the cost burden of running the government. Individual taxpayers like you and I pay in around 80% of the governments tax revenue, and corporations went from paying in around 35% back in the 1970s to 9% now. Yet it is corporations getting most of the benefits while all of us get squeezed. The Democrat institutionalists did not address this at all, never have, because they are all rich too.

Even 48% of Republicans think corporations pay in too little, while among indies and Dems, these numbers are 70% and 95%, respectively. See what we did NOT do is run on these things. Nope. We ran on 'saving democracy' but our middle class has been squeezed by Wall Street since the first corporate and billionaire tax cuts back in the 80s. It is SO expensive even to live, the middle class has been nickel and dimed almost to extinction.

People 'broke for Trump' because they were angry at the Wall Street squeeze, though the publicly traded 'news' outlets (CNN, ABC, CBS, NBC and FOX) were always very, very careful to drive culture war wedges instead of EVER reporting on the unbalanced greed and lust for temporal power of the super rich and the corporations they control.

There is less and less and less, but our taxes have not gone down. Now our kids are crippled with massive student debt, and we have healthcare debt, and it costs an arm and a leg even to try and live middle class.

That is THE problem, and putting Connolly in that position because it was 'his turn' was total institutionalist bullshit. AOC should have been on that committee and she is the future of the Democratic Party - she and Crockett and other young Dems. But they are held back because of institutionalists like Pelosi and Schumer.

Now, we are in incredible danger as this republic is being clamped under the iron boot of Wall Street and the billionaires. Biden should have a) been beating his chest about greed-flation all along, and b) not ran at all in 2024.
