Seventy-one percent of Americans think the economy is rigged in favor of the rich and against working people. In the debut episode of Maggie and the Millionaires TALK MONEY, Patriotic Millionaire Stephen Prince says they are right. Prince explains how politicians of both parties rigged the economy in favor of wealthy political donors like him and what everyday people in Wisconsin and around the country can do to fix it.

Prince argues that if voters make MONEY the primary factor in casting their votes in November, they can wrestle control of the economy from wealthy elites once and for all, and ensure that working people have the economy they deserve regardless of what political party is in charge. He’s here to help. But to be effective change-makers for themselves and their communities, voters must ask the right questions, and demand answers from their elected representatives. Why haven’t lawmakers raised the wage floor in 15 years? Why do rich people get a 50% off coupon on their taxes? When is $1,000 more than $1 million? And why does all this matter?

Americans disagree on pretty much everything these days – guns, immigration, transgender athletes, abortion, you name it. But regardless of political party, most working people agree that we have a MONEY problem in the United States – more specifically, that a handful of wealthy people have too much of it and millions of working people have too little of it. Lawmakers need to raise the wage floor so the middle class has a strong foundation to stand on and so businesses have customers with money to spend. The tax system values every dollar a rich person makes over every dollar a regular person makes. No wonder everyone is so ticked off!

This debut episode of TALK MONEY will put you in the driver's seat of the economy. Listen in!
