"’Based on our research, we would argue that the economic rationale for keeping taxes on the rich low is weak,’” Julian Limberg, a co-author of the study and a lecturer in public policy at King's College London, said.” https://t.co/C406ArRM9G — PolitiTweet.org

“Instead of trickling down to the middle class, tax cuts for the rich may not accomplish much more than help the rich keep more of their riches and exacerbate income inequality, the research indicates.” !!!!!!!!!!!!! https://t.co/jZ0cE6Ulmo — PolitiTweet.org

When it comes to the opioid crisis that has killed people on the scale of war, leading art museums have lots of explaining to do. The Ink has the receipts. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org

In the next hearing, I want to hear @RepMaloney, @AyannaPressley, and others ask the Sacklers about these new WhatsApp messages. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
The Sacklers' private WhatsApp messages show plutocracy in action. This is how it works. You donate to arts institutions, and then, when you stand accused of killing people with opioids, you know they will vouch for you, which they did until they didn't. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org

As some family members began to get more and more anguished about their reputation, Michael Sackler proposed a philanthropic plan of his own: Create an organization to solve the problem Purdue was still causing. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH https://t.co/8LyQM33fnP — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Many Sackler family members felt like victims, even as bodies kept piling up. "We are the most vulnerable of the opponents (as we are a private family owned business) and in their view the easiest prey to get lots of money from!", Mortimer Sackler said. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
.@jlefcourt quickly added: "No $ is enough for the PR. But I think we can find ways to make a big difference and help solve the problem.” Then he clarified further: “Not the PR problem. the people addiction and people dying problem.” https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
And then, in that same back-and-forth over the PR statement, Lefcourt came forward with an idea: “The company should commit to starting a foundation and pledge $1 Billion over the next 10 years to play a leading role in addressing the epidemic.” https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
Some members of the family thought Purdue's anodyne PR statements weren't enough. "Not sure if it was said but I find the board statement to very defensive, out of touch and not going far enough," @jlefcourt texted the family. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org

Coincidence or not, the giant bank stopped doing business with the Sacklers days after major museums abandoned them. It raises the question of whether the art world's long silence allowed the death machine to grind on for years longer than it may have. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org

At some point, Purdue became too toxic even for bankers. Which is saying a lot. And @jlefcourt, a family member and proprietor of @TheSmith07 restaurants, seemed hurt: "Does anyone know why JPM is not doing Purdue banking? What’s their reason?" https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org

Another revelation in these texts: When @georgiekeate, a reporter for @thetimes, contacted the @V_and_A to ask about Sackler money, her email mysteriously made it to the Sacklers. The family, the PR firms, the museums -- all working together. https://t.co/KIWDIoJZeq — PolitiTweet.org

"Jackie spoke with the Met this morning and they are going to stand by us," Mortimer Sackler texted the family. These texts are the receipts about how the Sacklers' philanthropic gifts bought them vouching services from museums. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org

3. How a profound sense of victimhood descended on some members of the family, perhaps blinding them to the need to address the problem in the way one relative suggested: at a cost to their bottom line. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org
THE PERSUADERS by Anand Giridharadas @AnandWrites
2. How a family that could no longer deny the scale of pain and death in the country tended to view the problem primarily through the prism of public relations, their anger concentrated on the difficulty of crafting statements, not curbing the hurt. https://t.co/VR3OnM2lLH — PolitiTweet.org
