If I could ask these greedy Billionaires one question it would be: How much money do you need to say, “I have enough.”? Of course, I already know the answer, “There isn’t enough.” I do know this much for certain. When you die, the majority of the world won’t know or give a rat’s ass how much money you have. What 95% of the world will remember is, what kind of person you were. They will talk about either the good things you did or if you were just a greedy jackass. Myself, I want people to remember me for all the kindness and good I did for people personally. The choice is yours. In closing, I’ll quote Forrest Gump’s momma: “There’s only so much fortune a man really needs and the rest is for showin’ off”.

​​@@Jommybutler1234 When that billionaire makes their billions by underpaying their employees so the employee has to file for food stamps and Medicaid in order to survive... then the billionaire needs to be taxed at the highest tax level like in the 1950s at 92%. Employees at Mc Donald's and Walmart are examples. Bezos overworks his employees in Amazon warehouses to the point they become physically disabled and have to apply for Social Security Disability. His employees at Whole Foods are underpaid and like at Walmart et al have to apply for food stamps and Medicaid. We the People are paying taxes to enable the billionaires to be richer and richer to obscene levels not seen since the Golden Age of the 1890s.

@ google what the tax rate was on the wealthy and corporations before Reagan took the office and how long they were that high and then get back to me. We’ll settle for somewhere in the middle of those 2 rates. And the excuse of “billionaires employ thousands of workers” BS is getting old. And before you get back to me, do me another solid and google what these corporations actually paid in taxes. I believe several like FedEx and GE not only don’t pay their fair share but get refunds to boot. The reason our infrastructure and Education system were outstanding was because of the tax rate on the wealthy and corporations. Their taxes helped to pay for the infrastructure that gets to the places that make these corporations and the wealthy money. The middle class is carrying the bulk of the tax burden and frankly I’m tired of hearing GOP politicians threaten us with “they’ll have to raise prices!!” Bullshit. When Walmart makes $13 billion in profits in one year and PepsiCo makes $9 billion in Net profit in one year, I am damn sure of 2 things. A) they don’t pay their employees enough. B) they can definitely pay more in taxes. -Sick of the greed mongering by billionaires who make their money off the backs of the middle class and then don’t want to pay their fair share to maintain the infrastructure to help them make that money. It’s disgusting.

​​If they have thousands of employees on social services to servive because they don't pay a living wage, corporations with record profits should be forced to give raises to not just top tier management but to the little guy. ​@@Jommybutler1234 They also avoid personal taxes by paying themselves more in stock buyouts than they do in actual wages. Making more of their personal income passive and not taxable.

Keep up the important work .

[@vickijurden5942]

Yes you are absolutely right

[@Nicole-gb3vl]

Right!!

[@JMcMac4t]

Bravo Senator Murphy, Ct should be so proud of you, and your willingness to speak truth to insanity… The 1st amendment is under attack, but who would expect less from a draft deferred grandson of a draft dodger from Germany, and a South African born billionaire maniac with nothing better to do, who have zero pride, zero history, zero fight, for the land of the free and home of the brave. 💙🙏🏻🇺🇸

[@Jommybutler1234]

The First Amendment does not allow you to slander a person. You can’t say that someone was convicted of rape, when they were not. The press must present facts or what’s the point.

Chris Murphy has no Power. These words are meaningless.

What an amazing truthful statement by Chris Murphy, 👏 as a UK citizen who has been following the ups & downs of your country for the past 5 years it was so refreshing to hear a congressman say it exactly how it is, i hope you always stay a democracy and that the despicable orange convicted felon will be massively defeated in 2029 if he lasts that long !!!

What does your King have to say about all of this?

Our next Presidential election is in 2028. JD Vance will be the next President of the United States of America.

Thank you for your courage. Senator murphy for your courage

SENATOR MURPHY......Make it happen......shut down the oligarchy's stranglehold on the US Congress~~~~~

[@Lisa-ef6zw]

I am over Trump and all of his frivolous law suits, and his abiltiy to get away with whatever the hell he wants to. One year away from retirement and may not ever be able to retire since so many stupid, stupid people elected him again. America has turned into Moronville!

President Musk has made a big mistake. *sad face emoji* 🤣

[@Jommybutler1234]

How, the budget is set thru the end of the year.

[@Cynthiatomaski-s4b]

​@Jommybutler1234 Because Musk's tweet- frenzy failed. He wanted a shutdown til 1/20/25 (and so did Trump) and a suspension of the debt ceiling, but the dems outflanked him (and Trump). Sanity prevailed - for the moment.

[@robygayle9449]

You are one brave man. Please keep it up.. thank you.😊

[@peacheswilliams4539]

Easy, by letting Trump gaslight everyone into thinking, it didn't really happen..

[@ElonaldTrusk]

I'm more surprised by how many actually believe the most armed demographic on earth, the American conservatives, tried to "overthrow" the government without bringing a single firearm. Some seriously small brains floating around in those skulls 😂

Please keep up the great work! We cannot allow the billionaires to destroy OUR country!!! They need to pay their fair share of taxes and NOT get more tax cuts!!!

🎉 True Presidential material !!! Excellent prognosis of the dangers America is facing. Please run for president in 2028 if it's still possible by then ! 2024 would have been better.

Connecticut has 7 electoral college votes. He represents half of a state that has only 3.7 million people. Do you understand how this works?

​@@Jommybutler1234 What's your point? Abe Lincoln was a self taught hayseed from a small pop state.. Kentucky .. who spoke to the common good .. and did a pretty good job 🎉

Sounds a lot like what Putin would do. This is America, freedom of speech freedom and freedom of religion. Trumps fragile ego and insatiable greed will fuel his agenda.

[@maryrobertson2274]

Omg, brilliant, thank you Senator Murphy💙

[@genghisgalahad8465]

I've never listened so attentively as I have this momentous delivery! Not even my to favorite astute progressive observers on these issues, as much as this delivery! I feel like it's a toehold cold water in the face wake up moment!

[@Jommybutler1234]

Did you notice that the Chamber was completely empty? Murphy gives these speeches with no members of Congress present. It’s showboating.

[@genghisgalahad8465]

@Jommybutler1234 it's not for the other members of Congress and shouldn't be about that. It's for the public. That's how congressional deliveries work. Minimally, it's not the State of the Union where everyone needs to be present. It's part of their work to deliver statements for the record, and that is shared on CSpan. It's not a show, man. Not surprising that you wouldn't know.

[@Jommybutler1234]

@ I am well aware,of the Congressional Record and why Senators give speeches to an empty chamber. The fact is that a Junior Senator from Connecticut is never given the opportunity to speak to the membership. It’s Showboating to generate YT content. www.politico.com/news/magazine/2022/05/13/c-span-ratings-social-media-competition-00031823#:~:text=The%20network%20doesn't%20have,20%20percent%20compared%20to%202017.

[@lucygonzales740]

Jommybutler. Wake up. Trump is a very dangerous man. He is also a LIAR, A CRIMINAL, AND A RAPIST. He has no honor. And a man with no honor is just a disgusting little man. The only thing he is good at is being a good salesman and you fell for it, hook, line and sinker

Thank you for being willing to give us the truth.

[@CLUBtwoFIFTEEN]

Senator C Murphy, you are correct in your assessment of trump and his cronies. We will lose our democracy if your colleagues don’t step up, stand up, speak up and choose to make decisions that oppose the trump regime.

[@Jommybutler1234]

Democrats don’t really want Democracy. You think you are smarter than everyone else and that the government knows how the people must live their lives. America got tired of you talking down to them. Calling them Deplorables. If you keep it up, JD Vance will be the next President.
