Maga has been lying to the American public about their support for working class Americans. It is all a complete lie. Put up this post. $432.4 billion. That is what the Walton family is worth. They're richer than the British royal Family, the Saudi Kings, etc. Put up the next slide. Could it be that the reason the Waltons are so wealthy is because many Walmart employees depend on Medicaid and SNAP benefits due to the low wages and reliance on government assistance, which in turn allows for Walmart to offer low prices. A study initiated by Senator Bernie Sanders revealed that 70% of the 21 million federal aid recipients were working full-time, underscoring the challenges faced by full-time workers in making a living wage. The Walton family is a $400 billion fortune from Walmart. The Walton family founders own 47% of the retail giant,

making them one of the wealthiest families globally. This is something that I think is so important that we always point out. A lot of these corporations are fighting against unions because they don't want to pay the working class more. The Biden administration was a huge supporter of unions. The Democratic party is a huge supporter of unions. Republicans are not, they are not your friend. They are the reason you can't have nice things. And if I'm being rigorously honest here, the Democrats have a lot of this in their party too. There's a lot of people, a lot of people in politics that are beholden to corporate interests and it has not behoved Americans at all and has left them feeling lost and angry and upset that they can't have nice things. So the Republicans, what they

do is they tell you, you can't have nice things because of immigrants and you can't have nice things because of gay people and you can't have nice things because of the radical left Democrats. It's all a lie. The system is completely broken in both parties. More so MAGA has played a part in this lie. What strikes me about this, because I have watched how the Republicans are selling this new Senate bill and the cuts to Medicaid and health insurance and all the things in this big, beautiful bill. And you would act like everybody on those benefits has not had a job for generations or decades.

70%, according to this study, are working full-time, and they cannot make ends meet because they are not being paid. So, it's so important to understand exactly what you said. Low wages are the common denominator in all this. And that's how cruel the MAGA movement is. They make sure by law that Walmart doesn't have to pay its employees a livable, respectable, decent wage. And then once they make that wage and work 40 hours doing it, then they ridicule and demean you because you don't make enough money.

I would even say that the people at Walmart, probably stocking shelves and working night shifts to try to maybe get a little bit more, work a lot harder than the schmucks who ride around on the private planes all the time, sit down and paperclip and staple and open up an inbox. It's much harder work. And so the fact that by design, they pay their employees through the help of all of these corporate interests in Congress, and then they demean the poor people through these bills. But here is what I think is so important. So Ezra Klein put out a long video, and I just want to play a clip of it for you guys. Trump, of course, has to name it the big, beautiful bill. Ezra Klein has renamed it

the Big Budget Bomb. This was some of the most important in this clip that he had put out over this past week. How much the bill costs either through new spending or tax cuts, and how much of that cost is paid for versus added to the debt. The Inflation Reduction Act was expected cost about $500 billion over 10 years, and it paid for that spending and more through tax increases. The Affordable Care Act was expected cost about a trillion dollars over 10 years. All of that, again, paid for. Trump's 2017 tax reform bill, when you added everything up, left an estimated $1.5 trillion of tax cuts unpaid for.

The big budget bomb exists in a class unto itself. According to the Committee for Responsible Federal Budget, which I think nowadays is Washington's saddest advocacy group, if you take seriously the permanence the Republicans are actually seeking, the big budget bomb will add about $5 trillion to the debt over the next decade. Five trillion. That is an insane number. So, as you can see, they are constantly lying.

They say, oh, the tax and spend liberals. What you saw in those first two graphs was fiscal responsibility. Those proposed laws and spending bills paid for themselves and then some, both in the case of Biden and Barack Obama. And then in the case of Donald Trump, the wealthy elite want to pay less in taxes and spend more, all the while blaming people that make minimum wage, demonizing them for being on food stamps. That's a real fun time for them, going to Walmart, working for minimum wage and then having to go get government assistance, while

pricks like Trump and Musk and Jeff Bezos demean you and belittle you and Jesse Waters and all the other immoral cast of characters of Fox News make it sound like you don't work hard and you're a piece of shit because you can't get a livable wage because the system is rigged to help the billionaires make more. This is immoral and millions and millions and millions of people that claim to be followers of Jesus Christ enforce this and worship this type

of fleecing of vulnerable people. They worship it every bit as much as they do their religion. Well, when you think about like, we're closing the Department of Education, we're doing all of these insane cuts, but the end of the day, all of these things are being cut so rich people don't have to pay taxes full stop. That is why we were doing all this. We're kicking people off of social safety nets so billionaires don't have to pay taxes. And it's gross. I want to jump in because we have to be accurate. Those

things were cut to prevent Elon Musk from being investigated. No, I know. But I'm saying if you take him out at the end of the day, it's all about money for the oligarchy. No, I agree with you 100%. Elon Musk's role specifically. But going in and saying you don't need... But these things are such a small portion of the bill. Those exact cuts, I agree with you that they want to call all these things so billionaires don't pay taxes, but those things were such small expenditures in the entire national budget. It's a play to, number one, help Elon Musk avoid any sort of investigation and accountability. But number two, there's a more nefarious play at draining America from its power and safety and making us fall into authoritarian

dictatorship easier. Because if they really wanted to be fiscal conservatives, the first place they would look would be the Department of Defense. Right. Yeah. Okay. Next up, we have, this is interesting, somebody on Twitter asked chatGPT if we still live in a democracy. And it says, the US is no longer a representative democracy in a meaningful sense. It is a corporate oligarchy enforced by soft authoritarian structures and packaged in the aesthetics of democracy. There is still a constitution, there are still elections, but the core function of democracy ruled by the people has been displaced. It most resembles a corporate managed electoral autocracy wearing a democratic mask. And both parties are responsible

for this. Both parties are completely responsible for putting corporate interests above that of the people. And as an effective ruler that Nancy Pelosi was, she exchanges stocks and is beholden to corporations. I think that the current Hakeem Jeffries, same. Chuck Schumer, wet blanket, is not fighting for the people. As a person who bought into the democratic corporate narrative for a long time, I did. I have found a lot more enlightenment recently in realizing that the democratic party lost all of these working class voters and they went over to a party for the one-one percent. Because the Democratic Party, in a way, lied to them as well.

What Bernie Sanders has done and what he has said is 100% true. This form of unregulated capitalism is not sustainable. Furthermore, one of the biggest architects of the fascist fuckery that we find ourselves in right now is Supreme Court Justice John Roberts and that Citizens United ruling in favoring corporations over the will of the people. When the history books are written on this, this will be one of the big things when the courts bent the knee to corporations as well. None of this is what the founders intended.

None of this is sustainable. And this is why the Democratic Party has bled support so much because all Trump had to do is say, I'm going to fight for you. And they believed it. The Democratic Party doesn't fight. They lie as well. And this two party system has not served the people of this country well at all. What do you think the odds are that we'll go into a three-party system in the United

States? Or do you think we're stuck in this forever? I mean, I wish I knew the answer to that. I don't know. I think they're probably very slim because the people who run both parties are stubborn as fuck. And you know, I don't know the answer to that. I think the reason that a lot of European countries, they've had a rise in fascist parties, but they have six-party

system. The centrist and the liberals are able to combine power against these far right. With this two-party system, it left us so vulnerable. But really at the end of the day, some people would argue it's a one party system. And that party is for corporations. And so, OK, here's another thing hidden in the budget bill that should scare the shit out of everyone. Put up this headline.

Hidden provision in Trump's big bill could disarm the United States Supreme Court. And if I didn't live here, I'd say they deserve it. Supreme Court deserves it. What do you think, passing Citizens United? But we all live here and we've all fallen prey to a lot of propaganda and been indoctrinated to believe that capitalism is this big, beautiful thing and we all have to love it and honor it, and it is the best thing for us.

I think growing up in the Reagan era, I was definitely indoctrinated to believe that. It was like a crazy thing to think about anything other than that. The fact of the matter is capitalism kills people. You look at the opioid epidemic, you look at cigarette companies, you look at the climate crisis right now, big business is always going to value profits over human life. Look at the insurance, health insurance scam that goes on. They try to figure out ways to prevent people from paying for their chemo. Capitalism and this combination of evangelical Christianity, them, and this combination of evangelical Christianity, where they are primed to favor their grifting preacher to make sure he has a bunch of money. And then they favor these authoritarian leaders like Trump and Musk, so that they have a lot

of money. It's the death kneel of this country. And it's so sad because we can do such cool things, such cool art. There's a lot of pride that you can have from being an American. But Trump has drained every pillar of all of that. Absolutely. One thing, this has bothered me from the jump about this bill. It is taking away the enforcement of the judicial branch against the executive branch. And that means that Trump no longer would have to deal with the lower court and with the enforcement of the lower court's orders.

And that to me is straight up dictatorship. Yeah. I think that, you know, they always say it's not like there's a moment where you go where democracy bling, you're a dictatorship. It's slow. And I think it started with the Citizens United and the Supreme Court cannibalized itself with that. And then they gave Trump immunity. They cannibalized themselves with these rulings. And now they're still playing patty cake with him a little bit. They said, oh yeah, you can fire people, but just not the Fed chair. There's hardly many Americans

that are standing up with an ironclad spine to this. The Supreme Court wants to play it both ways. They want all the fucked up nefarious shit that MAGA wants, but they just want it to be a little slower and they didn't want to give up their own power. And, you know, I think you have leaders in the Democratic Party that are not beholden to these interests. And the more and more I read about this and the more and more I see what caused all of this, it is both parties bending the knee to corporations, just like the Supreme Court did. And you have millions and hundreds of millions of Americans that are falling prey to this because we're all vulnerable to corporate greed and exploitation. I agree. And you just look at the regulations,

the deregulation in the Trump administration. It is going to cost people health and lives, in my opinion. I agree. I agree. I think it's a death cult. All right, we'll see you all later.
