Career politician becoming a millionaire is the problem, not entrepreneurs who put their assets and ideas on the line.
Are we really comfortable with a career politician who became in millionaire while never actually doing anything in politics that I can recall? Seems suspicious.
If people want to pay big bucks to hear those gas bags speak, I can’t really argue with that. But those book deals where they get a lump sum bigger than total sales? Those are suspicious as hell.
Sanders is a moron. There will always be Americans who could not care less about earning money or increasing their own wealth. Perfectly normal.
Creating new millionaires and new billionaires is a huge feature of the US economy. There have always, and will always, exist simultaneously Americans who disdain income and who are uninterested in wealth.
To state flatly that if these two kinds of Americans exist simultaneously then it’s an indictment of the USA is either the stupidest or the most cynical opinion I’ve ever heard.
So Bernie Sanders is still a walking joke. Some things never change, I guess.
And millionaires create sub-millionaires who go on to become millionaires while millionaires themselves become billionaires, etc, etc, a terrific feature of the American economy.
I give them props for being honest about their push for socialism.
They get more props from me if they also admit they don’t care about climate change very much, but just because they endorse Sanders doesn’t mean I actually think they’re honest people. I don’t.
They’re just being honest in supporting the only democratic socialist running for prez.
