Tom Steyer on CNBC made a lot of sense today

I know, I know, he's a billionaire, and we really don't need any more billionaires president. (We probably have never had one, as Trump lies about his total wealth, naturally). But Tom pushed back nicely on the CNBC hosts who truly seem pro-billionaire and anti-wealth tax. Why not? They talk to billionaires almost every day on CNBC.

But Steyer makes his case very well. He's pro-wealth tax and is willing to do all sorts of things to decrease the massive income inequality in this country.

I think he'd make a good president, or, at the least, a good Commerce secretary or something like that.

This interview is only about 16 minutes long. I think it's worth a look.

If I were to vote in a presidential
primary today, I would vote for:
Joe Biden
