Upon the video’s release, the band said:
“Income inequality is a threat to both our humanity and our democracy. Opportunity should come from skill and effort—not wealth or status. The widening gap between rich and poor isn’t partisan; it’s a national danger. A strong America requires a thriving middle class where hard work is rewarded.
When inequality rises, everyone loses—businesses weaken, communities fracture, and trust in institutions fades. Greater equality strengthens independence, reduces government dependency, and protects every citizen’s chance at the American dream.
Closing this divide isn’t charity or politics—it’s about preserving fairness, unity, and a level playing field. We must protect and strengthen the systems that keep opportunity open to all.”
