And can you talk about
Can you talk about your passion behind talking about billionaires and their puppet politicians, why people at home should care about this and how you are so clear?
And I think this is so powerful, James.
When you talk about this, when you talk about how so many of us are focused on the wrong 1%, can you share that?
Because we still want people passionate about the American dream.
Can you kind of explain where you are there?
And you think your fight to end corruption in government will bring it back to a place where you're like, great, the American dream is alive and well.
Everyone can go for it.
You can become a millionaire or a billionaire, but pay your taxes.
Don't be in a situation where, oh, you're a billionaire and you're not paying taxes, but oh, you're making $40,000 a year as a teacher and you're paying a whole bunch of taxes.
That's right.
And that doesn't make sense.
That's right.
and you're trying to get it back to what's fair, but you're still pro-American dream, become successful, build it.
It's wild how there's so many corporations that are making just phenomenal amounts of money, barely paying any taxes, if any.
And then they have employees that literally can't make enough money.
They're having to apply for assistance while working there.
I think it's so powerful when you talk in real people language to real people.
And I think for decades, people have heard, oh, corporate loopholes and this, but they haven't actually understood that if you don't end corruption in government, just how it impacts the fact that you cannot afford your rent.
You can't have, I mean.
