With new data showing higher than expected inflation, End Citizens United released a digital video today exposing the GOP’s role in enabling greedflation while ignoring the economic struggle of working families.
The video comes on the heels of a new Navigator poll showing two out of three voters in battleground districts––the most competitive races in the country––blame corporate greed for high costs.
The current economic frustration provides Democrats a real opportunity to go on offense and hold Republicans accountable for corporate price gouging. End Citizens United will continue to work with Democrats to connect the GOP’s reliance on corporate PAC checks to their refusal to crack down on greedflation.
According to the Navigator Poll:
“72 percent agree that ‘corporations raising prices during the pandemic when costs went up but haven’t brought them back down as costs have decreased’ is to blame for high costs, including more than four in five Democrats (84 percent), seven in ten independents (70 percent), and three in five Republicans (70 percent). Two in three constituents also blame “corporations being greedy and raising prices to make record profits” (66 percent) and “corporations raising prices on consumers because they can” (64 percent) for high costs. By comparison, a smaller share of battleground constituents blame spending on government programs for rising costs (54 percent).
