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

RUSH EXCERPT:
TALARICO: "Republicans and some Democrats sold the false gospel of trickle down economics that. That idea that the best way to grow the economy is to let the rich get richer and forget about everybody else that the best way to motivate wealthy people is to give them money and the best way to motivate the rest of us is to take it away some day. Somehow they told us the gains would trickle down to the rest of us trickle down. Economics is not a theory. It is theft for fifty years. For fifty 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 millionaire tax breaks. This affordability, crisis isn’t something that happened over the last five years. This affordability crisis has been fifty years in the making, since the late 19 seventies, mega donors and corporate special interests have been buying politicians in both political parties, and then those politicians turned around and rig the economy to benefit their wealthy donors at our expense. We have an affordability crisis because we have a corruption crisis"
