Spoiled, entitled billionaire man-children are buying social media companies/newspapers and television networks and funding politicians and judges

Keeping their taxes low and regulations minimal
While we pay the price

When we honestly take a close look at all the dysfunction in this country...

Every single issue goes back to bad Republican Economic policies designed solely for the wealthy to gain and the working/middle class to lose
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue

We achieved our greatest period of economic security for almost all classes of citizens
under the New Deal policies of FDR

After Reagan, our middle/working class now pays the price for the excesses of the top 1%

The original George W. Bush tax cuts will have added $8.4T to the national debt
2017 Trump tax cuts will add another $1.7T in debt
Moreover, the GOP wants to renew those tax cuts which would cost $3 trillion more

The Bush and Trump tax cuts alone are responsible for 57% of the increase in the debt ratio (debt as a percent of the economy) since 2001 and more than 90% of the increase in the debt ratio

Rogue Citizen One ☮️

@RogueCitizenOne

The NAACP has filed a lawsuit in federal court challenging the constitutionality of a racially biased bill signed into law by Mississippi's Republican Governor Tate Reeves.

The bill creates a separate and unequal... 1/

2/ ...policing structure and criminal justice system in the whiter, more affluent, areas of Jackson.

Under the new law, judges will now be appointed by the chief justice of the Supreme Court instead of...

3/ ...being elected by the district’s majority Black voters.

This bill is clearly unconstitutional and also violates Mississippi's state Constitution which calls for elected judges.

Being homeless kills people, but Republicans fight any sort of housing, rent control, or laws that might inhibit foreign or Wall Street from buying up housing and jacking up housing costs.

The Koch Agenda
Background I

The assault on our Democracy today, is entirely funded by the #KochNetwork
CRT, Grooming and all their crisis creation campaigns
Are just cover while they destroy Democracy Worldwide

#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1

Almost all of the current Republican policies stem from the teachings of John Calhoun a Slaver and Fierce advocate for the protections of the Self Titled Aristocracy of the South
Democracy for all was abhorrent to them

#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #DemVoice1

Southern Elitists felt their economic gains threatened by the civil rights movement
How would they get cheap labor?
They sold the public on “Protecting our Southern Way of Life”.
Although only the top 1% benefited

Gradually, then suddenly
Republicans are systematically destroying American democracy with the clear objective of replacing it with strongman authoritarianism, a American version of what Benito Mussolini called fascism.

In Chile, Pinochet (with help from Nixon) had already infiltrated and gotten the loyalty of both the police, the army, and the civilian paramilitaries he’d spent the previous few years nurturing.

Gradually, then suddenly
When Chileans poured into the streets, Pinochet swept them up and held them in the national stadium, where 1ks were tortured, murdered, or simply disappeared.

Instead of using their tax breaks and record profits to raise wages and invest in their workforces, greedy price gouging and/or union-busting corporations are enriching executives and wealthy shareholders.
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Stock buybacks mostly enrich top corporate executives and other wealthy shareholders. That’s because about 90% of all corporate stock is owned by the richest 10% of Americans; and half of that is owned by the top1%
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

Not surprisingly, some of the worst corporate actors that utilize stock buybacks are also price gougers and union busters. Padding profit and CEO and bank accounts, while adding no value to their businesses

Suppress wages and deny union rights

Do Republicans have anything to offer the women of America?

So far, all we’ve heard is that they want to send them to prison or administer lethal injections if they get an abortion.

Ironically #KochNetwork ALEC calls this bill anti discrimination
while actually discriminating against investors
who dis-invest their companies from Fossil Fuels
But atypical of all Republican/Koch network propaganda
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1

The real intent of these bills is to continue FF profit and greed models that exist worldwide today
Claiming FF are unfairly treated while achieving massive profits the last 2 years thru price gouging consumers

While ignoring the fact that in 2019 our economy was already sinking

The TCJA is a corporate mill bill from ALEC, and the true beneficiaries have been the corporations and the wealthy in this country who own the large majority of stocks.

We passed unemployment insurance and safety to protect workers
