24. The billionaire class IS panicking
Mon Mar 2, 2020, 09:28 PM
Mar 2020

But it’s not about Biden vs Sanders. It’s an overall attempt at wrestling away any attempt of the working class to actually take the economy back. There have been more billionaires over the last four years than ever getting into politics. They realize the fun ride they’ve had since the Reagan administration is waning and they want to hang on to it as long as they can. But, no matter what Democrat is elected, they are going to bring the taxes back to the rich. There is no other way to fix the economy without bankrupting the US Government, which is honestly what the Republicans and big business want when they scream “smaller government”. The US constitution is the only thing standing in their way of controlling America and we as an electorate keep handing it over to them. Economically speaking, there will be no difference in a Trump win or a Bloomberg win. They both keep hiding their intentions in partisan public policy.
