BILLIONAIRES BOUGHTALBANY

Page 2: Hedge Clippers

They’re the masters of the universe

billionaire hedge fund managers and

Wall Street titans

Page 3: Hedge Clippers

The richest men in America,

getting richer while the rest of us struggle.

Page 4: Hedge Clippers

Governor Cuomo is working for them

not for us.

Page 5: Hedge Clippers

Wall Street and hedge funds are turbo-

charging inequality,

getting richer and richer. Cuomo cut their taxes.

Page 6: Hedge Clippers

Luxury Manhattan apart-ments for billionaires

Cuomo gave them subsidies and property

tax breaks.

Page 7: Hedge Clippers

Their business deals have destroyed jobs —

the number one

concern of voters — all across New York.

Page 8: Hedge Clippers

They live in incredible luxury and don’t pay

their fair share of taxes—

some pay nothing.

Page 9: Hedge Clippers

They use their money and influence to corrupt

our government and our political system.

Twelve billionaires bought the Senate and a big piece of Cuomo.

Page 15: Hedge Clippers

They destroyed our economy.

They corruptedour government.

Page 16: Hedge Clippers

Now they want Cuomo to attack public schools and public school teachers.

Page 17: Hedge Clippers

Cuomo:

• Attacking teachers to please his bil-lionaire backers

• Putting his own career above what’s best for New York

• Pays more attention to what Wall Street wants than to what our schools and communities need

WECANDO BETTER

Page 19: Hedge Clippers

Stop the political fights — work with parents and teachers to

make schools better.

Make school funding fair and equitable — and make Wall Street

billionaires pay their fair share to help pay for it.

Page 20: Hedge Clippers

Address inequality — a strong minimum wage for workers and a stronger safety net

for those in need.

Stop wasteful subsidies for big corporations and CEOs — focus on creating good jobs with good pay and benefits.

Page 21: Hedge Clippers

And get big money out of politics with Fair Elections public funding

so we can take Albany back from the billionaires.
