Two messages for 2026. 1. The American public hates

Tech billionaires and billionaires in general. The public, across the political spectrum knows the game is fixed for billionaires to make obscene profits while the party the billionaires support is kicking the lower 1/2 of the public in the streets. Answer the old man Soros chants with the GOP legion of billionaires and show the GOP works for them alone and they will not raise taxes on them.
We need to promise to bring a square deal back to Americans. The vast majority knows the US economy is not raising all boats; it is only raising the yachts.

2. Corruption. Don’t call it grifting call it corruption. Trump and his rich minions are fleecing Americans for their own and their own families benefits. They took public service so the public can serve them. They want a nation of serfs. This factual assertion cuts across the ideological spectrum.

Billionaires worked hard to earn that money so they should get to keep it. Then they like to point out someone like Michael Jackson - “he grew up in a poor family, they worked hard and became very wealthy, he should get to keep everything he earned.” (This was a few years ago, obviously). This rw worship and coddling of billionaires makes me sick.

Super billionaires like Musk don’t donate anything for charitable causes or for something that benefits everyone (like Andrew Carnegie did with libraries). I guess that’s their right but it shows us how selfish they are.
