(38,974 posts)Putin is one of the wealthiest men in the world, it's true. But his money doesn't come from capitalism, and he' has never run a business in his life. Putin came to power by systematically stealing the natural resources (mainly oil) of Russia. Putin put his friends in power and gave them financial/legal advantages that no one else got, and that's who the oligarchs are. They make money by stealing it in one way or another, and they all give half their income to Putin. That's why he's wealthy, and he never did a thing to earn it except plunder the natural resources of his country.
It sickens me the way Repukes worship him - it's so wrong and misguided. If the Russian people ever found out what he has done to Russia since the "revolution," he'd get the Mussolini treatment. I'm certain of it.
