Sen. Casey Blames Corporations for High Prices Even After Huge Tax Breaks: It’s ‘Greedflation’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
You have been campaigning all across Pennsylvania. You have been talking about it. One of the things you talk about a lot of the economy, great. The inflation, what people are seeing in that light. When we look at the polls, the data is very good on the economy but it does not show on the poles that people are necessarily feeling it or giving the president or even the Democrats credit. What do voters say when you talk to them about the economy and how they are feeling and how they are renting?
>> A good part of that is high prices. We know that even after these huge national corporations copies record tax cuts, tax cuts we had rarely seen in recent American history, they got these huge tax breaks. They used most of that new revenue they had to have stock buybacks and they Jack up their prices. The price of food, household items area people not only feel it every week but I think they know what it is and it is great. I have talked a lot about the present as well. The shrinking the size of the product, not shrinking the price.
>> Not enough chips in the bag.
>> The larger question is basic. When they can Jack up prices on food and laugh all the way to the bank. We have to take action against that. When I talk about not just pointing it out for voters to focus on, but also when I talk about taking action, that is where you get people’s attention. People want us to pass a so they can go after these and hold them accountable. I think they also want us to vote to roll back the big corporate tax breaks because obviously, these big companies as they are jacking up their prices.
>> Clearly, you know who’s going to keep them.
