Ossoff: "This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate."

Ossoff: We were told that MAGA was for working-class Americans. But this is a government of, by, and for the ultra-rich. It’s the wealthiest Cabinet ever. This is the Epstein class. They are the elites they pretend to hate.

Family member gets sick? No problem. Top-of-the-line health insurance. Homeless? No chance…several houses, couple yachts. Hungry? Never going to happen. Need an abortion? Bingo! Plane ticket.Security guards, caterers, household help, a nanny, lawyers, drivers, you name it. For this cabinet, the working class folks are props.

Since the first use of right and left to describe the parliament members after the French Revolution as either favoring another monarchy or a democracy, right-wing has ALWAYS been associated with some form of plutocracy or oligarchy. Since the early 1900s, fake populism has been used by right-wing demagogues who portray themselves as heros saving the populace from the feared "other" and imaginary "elites," not the real elites who live the grand life, especially those who exploit others to gain wealth, then use wealth to gain political power, and political power to gain more wealth.

They said MAGA was for working class.
But their legislation is a severe contrast.
Tax cuts for the rich will make us great?
GOP favors the elites they pretend to hate.
