U.S. Senate Candidate Talarico on Trickle-Down Economics: ‘This Unaffordability Crisis Has Been 50 Years in the Making’

EXCERPT:

TALARICO: "Trickle-down economics is not a theory, it is theft. For 50 years — (applause) — for 50 years, billionaire mega donors and their puppet politicians have been stealing from the American people, stealing the wealth that we created, with their bribes, their bailouts, and their billionaire tax breaks. This affordability crisis isn’t something that happened over the last five years. This affordability crisis has been 50 years in the making. Since the late 1970s, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties. And then those politicians turned around and rigged the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense. We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis.”
