Jimmy Carr’s I Literally Just Told You – Series 02 Episode 06

Randy sent this to me and I agree with him it should be posted.   He clipped it at the 10:14 minute mark so I could see how the game is played and hear some of the jokes.   I did enjoy it.  I suggest you go back to 10:14 and start there to enjoy the fun.   But for those who don’t care for videos or are short on time I clipped it closer to the important parts that I want to share.    Starting at 14 minute mark and watch until you get to 16:40 which is the few minutes I most want to share.    After you watch it please comment and we will have a discussion on it.   Hugs

“With under a week until the U.S. midterm elections, Americans for Tax Fairness revealed Thursday that billionaires have poured hundreds of millions of dollars into campaigns this cycle, largely to benefit Republican candidates.

“A torrent of billionaire cash is drowning our democracy,” declared Frank Clemente, executive director of Americans for Tax Fairness (ATF).

“Money talks when it comes to influencing candidates and winning elections, and the loudest voices by far are billionaires pushing for lower taxes so they can accumulate even greater wealth and have even more power and influence.”

“If we are going to have an economy that works for everyone, billionaires need to start paying their fair share,” Clemente added.

“And if we are going to have a democracy that works for everyone, we need to greatly curb the influence of billionaire money in our politics.”
