“The emancipation of the working class will only be achieved by the working class itself.”

The Buffalo Bills’ owner is getting the largest taxpayer subsidy in history, to the tune of 850 million dollars to build a new 1.4 billion dollar stadium. At the same time, New York Governor Kathy Hochul has proposed an 800-million-dollar cut to children and family services. Coincidence?
Hardly! The Bills’ owner is worth nearly 6 billion dollars. He alone could afford it. The NFL is worth 163 billion dollars. That is almost as much as the NBA and MLB combined. They need a welfare check, for what? The NFL is big business. They are all about making a profit.
Politicians serve the wealthy. They are laser-focused on ways to use our tax money, workers’ money, to help corporations and businesses make even more money and profits by reaching into our pockets.
