So if we elect Trump are we to become an Oligarchy run country?

[Penelope]

the rich fairly control our politicians now, so is putting a billionaire in the oval office going to turn us into an Oligarchy run country.

I say this as Trump said yesterday that he though his pal Phil Ruffman would be an good deal maker with China, who is another billionaire, so can we expect more of his rich pals to just take over? I think Trump is so far removed from say "us normal people who make less than 100 grand a year" and has been all his life, along with most of the other rich people that he is buds with. Not all the rich people came from money , I'm not saying that, but he did. Is he really going to do what is good for us, or for his rich pals and family members. I am getting the feeling that he just may not be my pick anymore.

It sounds to me like if he doesn't like what Congress would have to say, it will be too bad. A country becomes a Oligarchy mainly via marriage, that is how the rich get to rule.

Which Countries Are Oligarchies and Why?

It's a little too late for worrying about that. The scariest thing about Trump is that I don't fear him being elected anymore than any one of the rest of the field.

I think that all of them have more money than do I---it is not an issue for me. ----
I do not suffer from RICHEPHOBIA

Me neither. The 'system" is out of control though. This country could easily pass as an oligarchy. Too much power in too few hands. And both parties are two sides of the same coin.

Your probably right , it already is, but if Trump wins, many of the rich lost money backing the others, which will do my heart good.

Well, how is it working out for you now with the rich ruling? Obama is a millionaire. Hillary is a millionaire. Polosi is a millionaire. So are most of the elitists in Washington.

Under 500 mil and most are under 50 million. Not the same thing. Its bad enough they cater to the billionaire class, and Trump will cater to him pals. He may not need money to run, but the rich stick together like you can bet they will be even less in taxes.

I don't know about that. In my own humble opinion, JFK turned out to make a pretty good President.

I agree, but short lived, the only RC president.

I believe your right, about being too late. I don't know Trump was all for universal healthcare in 2001 and now hes not.

I think Trump is following the standard political play book. Tell them what they want to hear.

 

[irosie91]

Sanders sounds rather conservative in his lifestyle, but he has great respect for Pope Francis and his wife is a RC, I agree with many of his ideals, I suppose that would make me a socialist. I detest lying, cheating, and stealing, but I don't see him a liar, cheat or thief. Also he was anti Iraq war, but atlas he may be too pro Israel, which I would find hypocritical of him to be.

What do you think, is he pro Israel?? Not all Poles and Russians , even if they still adhere to the Jewish religion, but he says he is not religious.

------"......but atlas he may be too...." ? what is "atlas" in your sentence???
What place does the phrase ".....Not all Poles and Russians....." have in your
brilliant prose ???

wealthy

I mentioned hair?

no it simply proves the 'dumbing of america' is going well....the rich are convincing the poor to vote for them and policies that simply enrich them....

They figure the poor working class will be thinking that any deal making, economic activity the rich engage in, will of course spur economic activity that will trickle down to benefit them... Problem sadly is that for the last 25 years that boat hasn't sailed, so how much longer will they buy their tickets to more of the same aboard that boat ?

Rosie, I have been following you for quite a while. That statement concerning Homo Sapiens/race kinda sets me back a tad. Are you saying race plays no part in the homo sapien family? If that is true then gender has a very small impact also. What do you think?

"So if we elect Trump are we to become an Oligarchy run country?"

If we elect Trump it means we're a joke of a country.

Thankfully it won't happen.

Great for bigots, racist, and other social right loons – not for the rest of America, however.

 

[beagle9]

The sad thing is this... A large amount of corruption and greed became a normal thing over the years, and changing that will be almost impossible. It cuts across all parties in power... The disrespect and disconnect that has happened between the working class and the so called upper class is so damaging that it's amazing what has happened over the years... There are so many people who had come into power over the years, but the problem has been for many that they didn't earn or deserve the power and money they had received in life, and that is just sad because they become abusers of power and money because they can't handle it, and never could handle it.. So they fear losing it so bad that they become super greedy with it, and will hurt anyone that challenges it.

Say what you want to say, but your broad statement doesn't hold water with those who are fed up with it all. Of course you want to try and direct support for your side, but it will all depend on who is on your side and who see's through the fog of it all that will determine the outcome. Obama and crew have killed the golden goose I think, so a repub from upon that stage will take the reigns next, but which one ?

 

[Stephanie]

wow, we've been under the thumb of a thug wannabe dicktator with that Obama and here they are whining over Trump. they really have some nerve

Trump is just one candidate, and there are what 16 more ? Hopefully the folks will choose wisely this time.

Lets hope. Trump isn't my first pick. but if I had to vote for him over those snakes from the Democrat party, I would in a heartbeat

Right we are wanting big business out of government, and yet we are almost hiring a mega business man who had his pal real-estate tycoons in his rally giving money to the vets, do you think he will return a favor, as the rich do not give for the sack of giving.

Obama as least is on his first marriage and has a nice family, whereas Trump loves young women, has cheated and is on his 3rd wife, not real stable. One of the guys last night, another billionaire married a young chick too, what is it we can say about these young women is they also love money and marry these rich men that are twice or 3 times their age. Creepy.

Trump said he was for universal healthcare in 01 and now he is not? What will he say when in office? How can one change their mind so radically about such an imp. subject??

Do we want big business actually running our government, in the oval office, its bad enough they are surrounding Washington with their money, and you can bet those rich tycoon pals of Trumps that gave to the vets last night , will want some repayment?? Right??

Trump has delusions of grandeur, I mean come on. He is rather like that North Korean guy, weird hair and all.
