This little video is a master class in messaging that speaks directly to voters. It’s a message that will resonate, it does not equivocate and it cuts to the heart of the issues. We could all learn from Corbyn:
Here’s how to use this modified script in the US:
Bankers and Billionaires should not run our country. But they think they do. Because the party they fund and own, the Republican Party, controls the White House and Congress. President Trump has appointed several billionaires and senior bankers to his cabinet, it is the wealthiest cabinet in history. The Republican Congress is proposing a tax bill that hurts working people because their wealthy donors want it. That’s why these billionaires want to keep the Republican party in power, because their rigged economy and tax cuts for the richest work for them and we’re still paying the price.
These are the same speculators and gamblers who crashed our economy in 2008. And then we had to bail them out. Their greed plunged the world into crisis. That’s meant a crisis in public education and infrastructure. It’s meant falling wages and the longest decline in living standards for over 60 years. Nurses, teachers, retail workers, construction hands, well just about everyone is finding it harder to get by.
While Goldman Sachs’ CEO paid himself $22 million last year and US banks paid out billions in bonuses. The Democratic party is a growing movement with tens of millions of Americans and a government in waiting that will work for the many not the few.
So when they say we’re a threat, they’re right. The next Democratic government is a threat to a damaging and failed system that’s rigged for the few.
