From the article…..
“This piece from Sanders comes as President-elect Trump has selected
to join his administration and after many Democrats,
, slammed Musk for opposing the bipartisan deal to avoid government shutdown, which faltered due to Trump allies’ opposition. Some have pointed to the latter as an example of the
in Washington”
In comparison, how much practical experience does the average Congressman or Senator have in ever building a business or enterprise? Not much really.
“Throughout the op-ed, Sanders ripped the campaign finance system, which he regularly brings up, as well as the “inadequate” health care system and billionaire’s ownership of social media platforms, such as Facebook, X and Truth Social.”
Is this the same campaign system that allowed $2B to be squandered in just a few months?
“It is estimated that six huge media corporations now own 90 percent of what the American people see, hear and read,” he wrote. “This handful of corporations determines what is ‘important’ and what we discuss, and what is ‘unimportant’ and what we ignore.”
Ahh yes…..it’s called the MSM……..and has suited the purposes of him and his ilk quite well…….talk about biting the hand that feeds you…..LOL.
“In his Gettysburg Address in 1863, President Abraham Lincoln spoke about ‘a government of the people, by the people, for the people.’ Well, today, we have a government of the billionaire class, by the billionaire class, for the billionaire class,” he added.
My father once was threatened with contempt of court for stating the country has become “for the lawyers, by the judges and screw the people“ after a local judge opened the court as a forum to comment on some piece of judicial activism ruling that occured. He was not far off as the government assigns regulations that affect millions each day, and most of the leaders have spent their entire careers working in law of some government entity. Politics should not be a career, but an excersize of service.
Not a big Bernie fan because as much as he squawks in pieces like these he has taken care of Bernie as well. Add up the accumulation of grift by politicians and you could rival what he laments each mogul of possessing.
And don’t forget it it the people that made these men what they are……..drinking the green deal koolaid leading to Musk’s domination of the electric vehicle market, Bezos with catering to the worlds lust for cheap and accessible goods and Zuckerberg so folk could queef, moan and share what the had for breakfast or what color socks they are wearing. That part is most often ignored.
There has been a perpetual discrepancy in the wealth possessed by some, vs others since Man has learned to write things down.
