The Ironworker Coming for Max Miller's Seat

About this episode

Brian Poindexter discusses his experiences as an iron worker and the implications of political and economic issues in his district.

Tim, Luke, and Rich talk with Brian Poindexter about what nineteen years in the iron workers taught him: why right-to-work states stay poor, why the no-tax-on-tips promise turned into a rounding error come tax season, and how blanket tariffs are driving up input costs for farmers while private equity waits in the wings to buy the land. He also explains why the allegations against Miller shook his district to its core, and what it says about a justice system where the wealthy and well connected get one set of rules and everybody else gets another.Poindexter says he didn't get into this race because of Miller's personal life. He got in because Washington hasn't heard from anybody who works for a living in a very long time.More at PoindexterForCongress.com Learn more about your ad choices.
