from Robert Reich:
Folks, Democrats have a huge opportunity between now and the midterm elections to frame the national conversation as it should be framed — around corporations with record profits raising their prices to consumers and fueling inflation, stock buybacks that have also reached a record level, CEO pay that's now reached almost 350-to-1 relative to median worker pay, billionaire gains of $1.7 trillion during the pandemic while almost everyone else struggled, corporate union-busting, and hugely profitable corporations and billionaires paying little or no taxes.
If Democrats don't highlight these abuses of our economic system and show how the Republican Party has become a shill for big business and the super-rich, the public will hear only Republican culture war messaging — pedophilia, abortion, gay and transgender people, as well as illegal immigration and what's taught in schools — all of it deflecting attention from the real economic abuses endured by ordinary people.
