2022 CT Senate race: on Budget & Economy


Leora Levy: Capitalism is the greatest system ever devised

Levy went on to praise our capitalist economy and blasted Blumenthal for attending Communist Party events. "There's never been a system like capitalism that has brought more prosperity to each individual and to our society. It is the greatest system ever devised and Blumenthal has aligned himself not only with the progressives, but he actually goes to the Communist Party, he's been going for years," she said.
