Graham Platner: ‘There Is No Metric of Hard Work that Justifies a Billionaire’

‘The fact that Jeff Bezos exists and the fact that I know someone in Sullivan who works three jobs and pays 60% of her monthly income in rent, those two things are directly connected’

TRANSCRIPT:

PLATNER: “The fact that Jeff Bezos exists, and the fact that I know someone in Sullivan, who works three jobs and pays 60 percent of her monthly income in rent — those two things are directly connected. There is no metric of hard work that justifies a billionaire when people in Eastern Maine work three jobs just to put food on the table.” (Cheering and Applause)
