What if I told you we've all been playing a rigged game for the last 45 years?

You, me, and all Americans who aren't obscenely wealthy are forced to play this game - for most or all of our lives.

It's a pretty simple game, and there are only 3 rules:

1) Socialize Losses and Privatize Gains

Corporations and the wealthy over-exploit our society in order to maximize their gains. Labor efficiencies haven't reduced YOUR workday or reached YOUR wallet - they've just made business more profitable. Regulations are being slashed that protected the environment, forcing communities to bear the cost of clean up after the bad behavior of corporations.

Protections for workers are under attack, from removing rights to unionize and collective bargaining, to dismantling of diversity, equity, inclusion, and accessibility programs, to permitting corporations to discriminate against employees.

We need leaders willing to stand up to the wealthy and demand they do what's right - for the environment, for everyday Americans of all walks of life, and for you.

2) Rules for Thee, but Not for Me

Instead of facing the same consequences that everyday Americans would, the wealthiest Americans use powerful connections to exploit laws and escape justice, from Elon Musk and America PAC's violation of Wisconsin Chapter 12 Election Law, to Donald Trump's 34 felony counts in New York.

We need bold and ethical leaders across all levels of government willing to be brave and hold powerful people accountable.

3) Use the Infinite Money Glitch to Enshrine Their Power & Influence

Rich people aren't smarter than you or me. They are just willing to over-exploit people and resources. There is no moral justification to allow massive billionaire profits and tax cuts, when those outsized gains come at the expense of our healthcare and quality of life, and make social problems like homelessness and food insecurity harder to address.

These people could choose to solve major issues practically overnight. Elon Musk alone could spend $100,000,000,000 (that's ONE HUNDRED BILLION) dollars to put 20 new food pantries in every state, and still be the richest man in the world by over $20 BILLION. But he doesn't.

We need curious and forward-thinking leaders who are willing to learn from what works: from other countries, from current state programs, and from history. We need leaders who are willing to meet with and listen to the people they represent. We need to use every tool at our disposal to build a new social contract, where billionaires and their corporations may harvest the benefits of our work, but in return it is their ethical duty and civic responsibility to pay their fair share back into society, through:

• New Deal /Eisenhower Era Tax Policy (where our society saw the greatest 30 years of economic expansion in US history)

• Infrastructure modernization

• Free state college

• Free daycare

• Healthcare for all

And more - so that all Americans, not just the mega-rich, can live and thrive.

And it's time to stop playing their game, because it's rigged against us.

Reaganomics is the greatest lie ever sold to the American people. The wealth has never trickled down. It has only flooded upward. Average Americans fall further behind other advanced countries in quality of life, wages, healthcare outcomes, life expectancy, home affordability, and even personal freedom.

And freedom is the thing we're literally supposed to be the best at.

And make no mistake, they are coming for more. The greed of the wealthiest of our society knows no bounds. So it's up to government leaders to set those boundaries and fight for their constituents every single day.
