Leonard Leo SPILLS On How Billionaires Are Pushing America To Be More Right-Wing #TYT

"Conservative activist and Supreme Court puppetmaster Leonard Leo recently outlined his pitch for billionaires on how they can help move the United States government and society to the right.

“It’s really important that we flood the zone with cases that challenge misuse of the Constitution by the administrative state and by Congress,” Leo said in a new podcast interview, calling on the ultra-wealthy to support these litigation efforts."

Get rid of Citizens United. Stop lobbyists.

A teacher asked her 6th grade class how many of them were Trump fans.
Not really knowing what a Trump fan is, but wanting to be liked by their teacher, all the kids raised their hands except for Little Johnny.
The teacher asked Little Johnny why he has decided to be different... again. Little Johnny said, "Because I'm not a Trump fan."
The teacher asked, "Why aren't you a fan of Trump?" Johnny said, "Because I'm a Democrat." The teacher asked him why he's a Democrat.
Little Johnny answered, "Well, my Mom's a Democrat and my Dad's a Democrat, so I'm a Democrat."
Annoyed by this answer, the teacher asked, "If your mom was a moron and your dad was an idiot, what would that make you?" With a big smile Little Johnny replied, "A Trump fan."

My god!!! This just keeps getting worse with these billionaires

How can U.S. critique other countries for corruption when we've legalized it here?

[Wegivesp]

Stop dark money in politics. Ban SS for billionaires and millionaires.

What I resent more than anything else about Leo is just how duplicitous he is. He extols the values of "limited government" fully and completely aware of just how *unlimited* the government he wants would be allowed to act against anyone who is not wealthy. Miss a car loan payment? Too bad, government will enforce the repo man's judgment, and you no longer have a means of getting to work. Miss your mortgage payment? Shucks, well the government isn't going to do anything except force you on the street. Outlive your retirement savings? Congrats, here's a Walmart greeter vest for you.

All while corporations are free as ever to pollute the environment, abuse workers, and shake consumers down for every penny they've got. That's the "limited" government Leo and his billionaire friends want. The insidious thing about all of this is that this kind of treatment forces people to think of government as the bad guy, when in reality it is just an implement of power - one that plutocrats currently employ to abuse hundreds of millions of Americans as they run out the back door with all of the untaxed profits.

The Constitution never included Christianity in its formation. The founders went through years of debate before coming to this decision. Even the ‘In God We Trust’ on our money violates the founders’ intentions of separation of church and state.

This is the reason why every American citizen should care about being more informed and pay attention to politics often or our freedom will be taken from us.

Cenk needs to understand these billionaires also own and control social media, search engines, and the general flow of information throughout our society.

So the ultra rich donors have one party that cuts their taxes and the other makes unfair rules that make it difficult to compete.

Look how well Boeing’s CEO did with cutting corners, increasing profits and apparently forgetting that we FLY in these things and prefer them not falling apart at 35, 000 ft.

The analysis was on point here. Jenk is great when he's not yelling.

They would push America in ANY direction if it served them.

Why did the great financial meltdown happen? Deregulation. “I thought that the banks would regulate themselves” A. Greenspan

Bet he won’t fit through the eye of the needle when he is judged .

[bovinityleak]

Small govtmnt to repuglicans means only no regulations for corporations to pollute freely and abuse workers.
They are absolutely on board with government to tell the rest of us how to live our daily lives, who we can love, how we can control our fertility, what we can read ect ect

[juanmurillo]

They shouldn't be allowed to pick our SCOTUS's for us. Anyone who doesn't think our politicians are massively corrupt is either rich or ignorant AF.

[Wegivesp]

Strengthen the power of the FCC. Increase SCOTUS seats.
