"what makes you confident that you can win not only this primary but but that critical election come november jake about kicked off this campaign back in april of twenty twenty five since then i've done four hundred and fifty public events across a hundred and ten different cities i could be a living room in lansing i can be in a a town hall in detroit a church in eskina bomb of the f w hall uh... in manistee no matter where i go people say the same thing to shoot his heart should be this hard to afford my groceries should be this hard to pay my rent to believe i could ever own a home should be this hard to see a doctor shouldn't be this hard to pay my taxes and know that that money is going to be spent on me or my kids instead of dropping bombs on somebody else in their kids that is the same frustration i think we're hearing echoing up and down the country right now and they want politicians who aren't focus more on the direction of a political party and focused more on whether or not they're going to be able to afford their lives that is true in michigan it's true in colorado is truly new york and i think we're seeing a lot of movement right now because politicians that are actually paying attention to the lives of the constituents they want to serve are succeeding"

&lt;p class=&quot;text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words&quot;&gt;Again, you can’t answer the question so you deflect. I don’t like him for several reasons. I think the only thing is genuinely committed to is the destruction of Israel and that he’s an anti-Semite. But his refusal to prove where his money comes from is more than telling.&lt;/p&gt;

<p class="text-xs text-slate-350 leading-relaxed break-words">Actually it is very easy......if the wealthy were taxed like the poor.
Top 1%: Owns roughly 30% to 33% of total U.S. wealth.
Bottom 50%: Owns just 2.5% of total U.S. wealth.
figures are from Federal Reserve</p>
