Scathing FOX editorial warns of the influence the Super Rich have on politics

LOL, after the democrats and their rich donors bought the 2020 election in collusion with the FBI, now they are worried when the shoe is on the other foot and the playing field is more or less level.
How much money did Kamala spend? HINT: $1billion

How much did Trump spend? $425m less than half.
Over $2 billion.

 
‘When we had heavily regulated and taxed capitalism in the post-war era, the largest employer in America was General Motors, and they paid working people what would be, in today's dollars, about $50 an hour with benefits. Reagan began deregulating and cutting taxes on capitalism in 1981, and today, with more classical "raw capitalism," what we call "Reaganomics," or "supply side economics," our nation's largest employer is WalMart and they pay around $10 an hour.

This is how quickly capitalism reorients itself when the brakes of regulation and taxes are removed - this huge change was done in less than 35 years.’


And Republicans continue to advance Reagan’s failed, disastrous policies.

Thanks for the link and the laugh.

Thomas Piketty and Thom Hartmann are a couple of clowns.
 
Yup. Absolutely true. And then the SC put the final nail into our coffin with Citizens United.

Citizens United was awful!
Why do people think they should be free to criticize Hillary?
Outrageous!
The guys who made that movie should have been thrown in jail.
It's not too late.

You can either have a small number of very wealthy individuals to influence politics or you can have democracy. But you can't have both.
 

Bernie is right. The super rich are turning the US into an Oligarchy. They have enough money to sway election in any direction they chose. It seem Bezos and Zuck are more interested in gaining favor with trump as they donate to his inaugural fund. Musk is just nuts. If voters do not wake up, the US will become a country like Russia....payed for and owned by the super rich.

So when are you shitlib snivelers going to turn down the loot from Soros, Gates, Buffett, Suckabuck, Pichai, Bloomberg, Steyer....?
 
The US has long been an oligarchy.

It started with Reagan’s war on working Americans and policies beneficial to the wealthy and corporate elite.

Don't let the door hit ya!

And changing the laws so they are above the law. Everything in their favor.

The rich can’t change laws. Only the politicians you worship can. Politicians become rich during their tenure. Lifetime politician Clemency For Child Rapists *Joe would be an excellent example.
 
It doesn't take too much digging to realize the concentration of wealth and power are repetitive in any political system

but i digress, the supermarket threw out a load of holiday cake (they do it every year) , which at the risk of that tired old cliche' i've been feeding to the pigs......

they seem happy so far.......
