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

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.

Gradually, then suddenly
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.

Do Republicans have anything to offer the working class?

So far, all we’ve heard is that they want to turn Soc Sec over to the NY banks
& Medicare over to the big insurance companies
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.

What have R's done for climate change?
Republicans are still taking $Ms from the fossil fuel barons every year and denying climate change even exists,
& actively trying to sabotage any effort to move to a green economy.

Rep Gozar prefers a White pointy robe
to a clown nose…but is still categorized as a clown
During Gozar’s act audience members could be overheard saying.." This guys nuts"
And "WTF did he just say?"

🚧KNOW YOUR CLOWNS🚧
Q Ron Johnson
Is a clown natural and may even be genetically born a clown

Using faux seriousness to explain everything is a conspiracy theory keeps the audience laughing hysterically
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #DemCast #ProudBlue
🚧KNOW YOUR CLOWNS🚧
Not bound by the laws of Reason,
Rep Comer holds Olympic Gold in the 200 Meter Backpedal

Known to proclaim He is not Nutty,
when
sounding very nutty.. I MEAN REALLY NUTTY

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
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1
Under the guidance of Koch propaganda
these ALEC bills are part of Americans For Prosperity
Unleash Energy Abundance disinformation campaign
which attempts to remove all EPA and regulatory restrictions to drilling

ALEC is using its top employees Scott, Blackburn and Stefanik to roll out its latest
Pro-Business/Anti-Worker/Anti-Union bills

As always, disguised as pro worker but its just another union busting/anti-worker campaign
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemCast Image
ERA will weaken a Unions ability to donate to Political Campaigns making it harder for labor to support Pro-Labor candidates
As always Koch uses hides their real intent which is to strip Unions of their political Power
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemVoice1 #ProudBlue #DemCast Image
MWE was created by ALEC & is just another way for Corps to unfairly hire Ind contractors
to avoid paying Social Security and Medicare taxes

While redefining employee status to help skirt around paying those benefits

The GOP Plan to roll out their
“Path to Prosperity” Corporate agenda in this Congress
ALEC is a Koch corporate mill bill machine
& Americans for Prosperity is a
Koch/Billionaire dark money disinformation outlet
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1
The Path to Prosperity agenda only benefits the top 1%
With GOP false claims it was TCJA tax bill in 2017 that created the growth we have today
While ignoring the fact that in 2019 our economy was already sinking
#ResistanceUnited #wtpBLUE #DemCast #ProudBlue #DemVoice1
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.
