Here’s The ONLY WAY To Fight Our Corrupt Political System! w/Dave Smith

Jimmy’s guest Dave Smith says the U.S. economy is already the largest wealth-redistribution system in history, but one that transfers wealth upward—from workers and the poor to asset-owning elites—rather than the other way around. Using housing as the clearest example, the two criticize policies that deliberately keep homes unaffordable to protect existing homeowners’ equity, locking younger generations into debt and permanent precarity.

They further contend this is not a left-right issue but a class issue, driven by artificial scarcity, monetary policy, and bipartisan political capture that makes electoral solutions ineffective. The conversation concludes that meaningful change is more likely to come from challenging propaganda and mass disengagement from a rigged political system than from voting within it.
