"The American Dream has become an American Nightmare. It’s too expensive to buy a home. It’s too expensive to get married and have kids. It’s too expensive to retire comfortably.
People are working hard every day, they're playing by the rules of today, but those rules weren't written for us. They were written for billionaires. We can't afford a home, but Jeff Bezos has at least a dozen. We can't afford to fill up our tank, but Mark Zuckerberg is launching helicopters off of his mega yacht. One in five Texas children live in poverty, but one of our own residents became the world's first trillionaire. Those three men now own more wealth than the entire middle class. The top 1% put the American Dream behind a paywall." -- Dem candidate for the Senate in Texas James Talarico, speaking recently in Arlington, TX, where he picked up the endorsement of the city's independent mayor Jim Ross. While the polls in Texas show a tight race, Talarico has the lead and the momentum, as his felonious and adulterous opponent Ken Paxton can't shake his history.
