We don't have to accept more tax cuts for billionaires. We don't have to pay more of our hard-earned cash to Elon Musk or Jeff Bezos or Mark Zuckerberg or the other billionaire oligarchs.
We’ve got to have a Democratic Party that is not afraid, that doesn’t take big money, that says to big corporations and Wall Street, 'Too bad. We are going to represent the people.'
But I believe Trump and his oligarchy will overreach, and we'll choose a more robust democracy.
This is the one thing that I agree with Donald Trump about: The economy is rigged — but it’s rigged against working-class people.
