hating this guy. Doesn’t want to be called a billionaire. Doesn’t want to pay more taxes.

He has the chutzpah to whine about lists of “unfavored classes”. He means the down trodden billionaires.

These are the people who extract wealth from the rest of us. We need business, we need innovation, we even need efficiency. But they have put shareholder value and wealth accumulation over every other consideration

Student debt will be a permanent drain on new generations and the economy in general. Too many people are a few paychecks from bankruptcy. Too many people have no retirement savings.

The super rich aren’t timid in their attempts to game the system to keep the rest of us from getting anything more. We shouldn’t be shy insisting that the country works for average people.

This guy wants to keep us fighting amongst ourselves. My beef isn’t with the average business owner I have much more in common with them than billionaires who fight like hell to not give up ine crumb.

Not only playing spoiler, but agreeing with Republicans’ shittiest campaign themes.

If they don't sell Fair Trade coffee, I won't buy that either... but I have to drive at least seventy miles to find a Starbucks in my world.
