Dear John,

As hundreds of thousands take to the streets to protest ruthless police killings of Black Americans and centuries of systemic racism, Donald Trump and his enablers have been quick to cast the protesters as violent “looters” — and distract from the real looters of America: Wall Street bankers in designer suits and corporate executives in lofty boardrooms.

Our latest video breaks down how the wealthy and corporations have gotten away with looting America for so long.
 

Here's what Donald Trump and his corporate cronies don't want you to realize:

The looting that warrants our outrage isn't broken windows at Target or Wells Fargo.

It's billions of dollars in wage theft, unjustifiable tax breaks for the top 1 percent, corporate tax havens, predatory loans, bail bonds, mass incarceration, and crooked Wall Street bankers who have never been accountable to anything but their bottom line.

By blaming immigrants, blaming progressives, and especially blaming people of color, and Black people in particular — they've divided us, and gotten away with it.

This needs to end.

Stand together, and know the truth about the real looters in America.

Thanks for watching,
Robert Reich
