Those are your fellow citizens.
If you really want to understand who the enemy is, understand this. There are 759 billionaires in the U S every single one of them. Is your enemy. That is the real enemy within. There are approximately not including the billionaires. There is approximately 9, 800 people with net worths over a hundred million dollars.
.:And do you think that they're going to be looking out for you while they do that?
If you've been watching the Senate confirmation hearings. Some of those billionaires were asked, are you going to raise the minimum wage? And they said, no, that's not the federal government's responsibility.
What have they been talking about when it comes to policy changes that they want to put into place? They want to remove Medicare, Medicaid, SNAP, student loan assistance. They want to demolish or disband the department of education. All the things that we rely on for support so that we can get our kids a better life.
They want that taken away.
ve seen the expansion of the [:They've made homelessness illegal and all of this to feed people into the prison system because you know where slavery is legal. Is if you're a prisoner and those are actions of the billionaires who are putting these things into place because for them to continue earning more and more money, they need an infinite supply of cheap labor and that's, that's what all of us in the 90 percent are to them.
So if you want a view into the real enemy within. You'll see them at the inauguration. In fact, your enemy just got elected, but he is just the tip of the spear. He is the puppet following the orders of everybody else. There are going to be three people on that stage who are true enemies of the average citizen.
trillion. [:They don't want to give any American an opportunity at jobs within their organizations.
In fact, they are laying off Americans at the same time that they are bringing in cheaper foreign labor. And I don't blame. H one B visa holders or anybody else around the world looking for a better life for pursuing that goal.
But that goal is being denied the American worker to artificially keep wages low.
Go ahead and look at how many collusion cases have been brought up against Silicon Valley and the billionaire class over the years where they've talked amongst each other to screw over the American worker. These are the people that Donald Trump has chosen to sit behind him.
tting behind him have chosen [:Who else is going to be on the stage? Sam Altman, another tech bro, Marian Aldelson, another billionaire, Tilman Fertitta, another billionaire, Joe Ricketts, another billionaire, Brian Armstrong, another billionaire.
And when billionaires aren't on stage. You have people that are married to billionaires on stage. So Kelly Loeffler, who is married to Jeff Sprecher, who is another billionaire, Linda McMahon, another billionaire, Steve Whitkoff, Vivek Ramaswamy, who got rich screwing over investors and stakeholders in a pump and dump scheme so he and his family can become billionaires while leaving everybody else holding the bag.
understand what is at stake [:Everyone to your left is the reason why you are where you are when the reality of it is. We are all where we are because these people have rigged the game and they are coming to power and when fascists like these and the billionaire and millionaire class rise to power, their staying power is determined by how quiet we remain.
So I'm encouraging every single one of you who has a net worth that is under a hundred million dollars. It is time to stand up. It is time to fight and it's time to fight from day one.
