https://robertreich.substack.com/p/the-assault-of-the-billionairesThe richest person in America tweeted last week that Democrats have become the party of division & hate, so I can no longer support them and will vote Republican.
Hello? Democrats are the party of division and hate? What planet has Elon been living on?
Meanwhile, the second-richest person in America (Jeff Bezos) tweeted that the Democrats proposed tax hikes on the rich will not tame inflation and their proposed spending would worsen it (hes wrong, and Ill explain why in another post).
. . .
This billionaire bombardment gives Biden and the Democrats an opportunity to tell America whose side theyre on and whose side theyre not on in effect, to declare class war on the class warriors.
Will they take it?
. . .
Isnt it time for Biden and the Democrats tell this to the American people, and offer them a clear choice in the upcoming midterms and beyond?

Singling out the super wealthy and getting them to pay their fair share in taxes?
Then division is what we need and they deserve!

or something he used on the campaign trail was that D's were the party of the common man and
R's were the party of the rich?
