Sen. Sanders: Anybody who thinks we do not have an oligarchy right here in America is sorely mistaken.

Anybody who thinks we do not have an oligarchy right here in America is sorely mistaken. The question before us is whether we will stand with the billionaires and big money interests or will we stand with the working families of this country and protect their interests.

[TBF]

1. I love watching Bernie speak - as usual he's right about everything

and I LOVED the comment directed at the wealthy campaign donors. He's not buying their crap either.

[oasis]

2. Bernie telling it like it is. nt

[Freethinker65]

3. Sure seems like it.

[Yo_Mama_Been_Loggin]

4. A couple of years ago I would have disagreed

But to see our party kowtowing to those people recently I've changed my mind.

[mopinko]

5. they're TERRIFIED of a 2nd biden term.

they’ve seen what he’s accomplished w no real majorities, and they know if he gets the congress he needs, they’re in a world of hurt. and if he reforms scotus, they can kiss their asses goodbye.
and this whole mishigas serves to make those majorities even harder to get. such a win-win for them.

[GoreWon2000]

21. I think you're right

They want their tax cuts so that they can take the money and run and they don't want any regulation so they can do as they please like, discriminate against women, people of color, LGBTQ+, poison our planet, let the banks run wild that'll collapse the financial markets and make dangerous products they can sell to the general public for outrageous prices. That's the oligarch's plan regardless of their political party.

22. Meshugas intensifies cruelty.

They're too stupid to realize their own craziness.

[Hekate]

6. Both Bernie Sanders & Jimmy Carter believe the US is now an oligarchy

[Autumn]

7. Bernie is always right.

[Emile]

8. Bernie has been proved right with all the shenanigans

going on trying to steal our primary votes and forcing our Democratic President out.

[MustLoveBeagles]

9. Recent events have proven him correct

[SunImp]

11. Yep, just look at what Dem Reps Adam Smith And Harold Ford Jr had to say about all this

[snot]

10. K&R!

There's always room for more Bernie.

[wiggs]

12. He's going to be very visible for next 3 months. His deep convictions will compel him to

speak with brutal honesty about Trump and the authoritarians/oligarchs who support him.

[DENVERPOPS]

13. Especially given the fact

that the Dem Uber Wealthy also enjoyed the huge tax cuts by Trump, and the promise of even more if he is re-elected.........

Maybe some of them gave the amount of their tax cut to the Dems as a political donation, but haven't heard of any.......

[AllaN01Bear]

16. i feel that the irs going after back taxes and the irs making anouncements made the rich nervous

and were hitting home .

[Seeking Serenity]

14. He would know more than most.

The oligarchs stubbed him out like a cigarette twice.

[AllaN01Bear]

15. we thought we had squished the rich down after the guilded age but sadly far from the truth

there have been areas in this country that are third world quality.my humble opinion only and sorry , no links . personal observation here

[Owl]

17. Well said Bernie.

[ramapo]

18. The problem is....

Working people for some reason think that the billionaires and oligarchs are on their side. It makes my head explode

[FreddyWhite]

19. Birdies for Bernie!

?si=Je5DM_MBPNo4PkVM

And Robins for Joseph Robinette Biden Junior!

[Rubyshoo]

20. Yep

Thanks again, Bernie.

[SamKnause]

23. I love Bernie.

I love his policies.

Oh what a country this could be with a thousand more like him in our government.

Keep fighting Bernie.

You are loved !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I still have your campaign stickers on my front door.

[malaise]

24. Correct

As always
Trc

[karin_sj]

25. That's for damn sure

And we're sick of it! And really sick of them not paying their share in taxes while accumulating obscene wealth that is more than they will ever be able to use.

[cilla4progress]

26. Absolutely!

Bernie as usual is dead on.

He's 82.

[Submariner]

27. Musk is the 21st century version of PW Botha

who wants to use American politicians to rebuild a white power dynasty in the U.S., just like his homeland apartheid served up discrimination to the Black man and women. He is un American as they come.

[GreenWave]

29. We should go viral with them trading with the enemy (WWII-Present)

It seems our young boys die for them and they can't even pay Eisenhower's tax punishment for what they do. And how sensitive they are to accurate criticism. Such as the 99percenters and Occupy Wall Street.

Note to billionaires: If you're so rich, how come you are stupid?

Just boom the economy and you get your taxes back in the form of extra profits. Duh!

[Skittles]

30. Hillary would have fought against them

just sayin'

[Uncle Joe]

31. Kicked and recommended

Thanks for the thread Donkees
