JL and Dutch, I'm not so sure that all of the 1% are in line with the likes of Elon "Even More" Musk. They just have a disproportionately large voice (well, who with several 100Billion to spend wouldn't). I would posit that we need to get our messages very clear, precise and very loud, very painful, and quickly. I'm not so sure that, rig…
JL and Dutch, I'm not so sure that all of the 1% are in line with the likes of Elon "Even More" Musk. They just have a disproportionately large voice (well, who with several 100Billion to spend wouldn't). I would posit that we need to get our messages very clear, precise and very loud, very painful, and quickly. I'm not so sure that, right now, "make the rich pay" will return the votes we need (those on the fence). I think the Presidents economic programs are some way toward that goal, and are maybe speaking loudly enough on their own.
No way are President Biden's successful programs being communicated enough on their own. There needs to be a new communication plan that is bold, consistent, and plainly spoken. They can take their cues from UAW's Shawn Fain. He's been a brilliant spokesperson for not only his union workers, but also for President Biden.
It's not so much a matter of "Make the Rich Pay" (although https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2022/apr/13/wealthiest-americans-tax-income-propublica-investigation ) but the degree to which the economy has been systematically warped to favor enriching the richest since the Reagan Revolution. That and the degree to which de facto bribery, actions that whatever they are labeled, produce the same outcomes as bribery around the purchase of political outcomes, have become legalized and normalized. That's the one ring to rule them all, and it's easily documented, hiding in plain sight.
