Description

It's time for some hard truths about the American economy. When did we decide that working multiple jobs just to survive is normal? How did billionaires and CEOs convince everyday Americans to fight on their behalf while they hoard wealth and exploit workers?


In this episode, I break down the rigged system that keeps you poor by design. We'll explore how corporate America has convinced workers that their labor isn't worth a living wage, while CEOs claim they're the "job creators" when it's actually consumers and workers who drive the economy.


From rising divorce rates due to financial stress to crime rates tied to economic desperation, I connect the dots between wealth inequality and America's biggest social problems. We'll examine the double standards where companies cap your wages but politicians won't cap executive pay, and why prices keep rising regardless of worker compensation.


This isn't just about economics, it's about reclaiming your worth as an American worker who builds and maintains this country every single day. You deserve better than poverty wages and false promises.
