On Thursday, my campaign started airing an ad about my #WealthTax. Now, some of the scared billionaires who oppose it are going on TV and tweeting their complaints. It clearly struck a nerve. But we need this tax to help working families—so we’re increasing our ad buy.
One of the billionaires who's so upset with me is Lloyd Blankfein. He ran Goldman Sachs while it misled its own clients in order to turn a profit, which helped create the 2008 crash. His bank then took billions in backdoor taxpayer bailouts, and no one was held accountable.
Billionaires like Blankfein can say whatever they want, but I've spent my career holding big banks accountable and fighting for working families—and I'm going to keep building a movement to make America work for working families.
This is how Wall Street's corrupt grip on Washington will end. Not with a bang, but with the tears of some sad billionaires—who will still be unimaginably rich, but will have paid their fair share so America could cancel student loan debt, have universal child care, and more.
