FAT CATS MAKE OUT LIKE BANDITS, AVERAGE AMERICANS?.. SCREWED

The Hartmann Report - A podcast by Thom Hartmann

The GOP is no longer a legitimate political party: it’s a cult. It’s becoming increasingly clear to Americans that the Republican Party only stands for one thing: the privilege and power of wealthy white men. Over the last 40 years they have devised increasingly byzantine rules to prevent low income whites and people of color from voting and are now trying to outright throw out ballots in Detroit, Philadelphia and Atlanta. They’ve worked for decades, at both the state and federal level, to make it harder for women to get access to birth control, women’s health services, and abortion. When the coronavirus hit, most developed countries made direct payments to unemployed workers; Republicans only tolerated that here for a few months, and the price was trillions, which continue to flow, to fat cats and big corporations.Now, to hang on to enough suckers to keep them in power, the GOP has resorted to embracing Nazis, religious fanatics and conspiracy theorists.
