koan I didn't realize until just now that you are poor. I do not know why that escaped me earlier. You are so poor that all you can do is blame the rich for your poverty. Listen, how is it that you have not taken advantage of all of the opportunities available in the USA?
Stop your bellyaching and blaming the rich for your poverty. At some point you need to act like a man and take responsibility for your own failure.
Could you tell me of a society ANYWHERE in history that was not run by the rich?
Bernie, that is hilarious. You don't think he is rich?
So you don't think Teddy Roosevelt and FDR were rich?
You are out of your mind.
Why would we want some poor dumb ass like you running the country?

>> We have been a plutocratic oligarchy for a couple of decades i.e when the rich have too much power over us.

Justin Trudeau is worth a few million. Would HE be a plutocrat?

What about Putin? What about Lars Løkke Rasmussen?

Which country do you think is NOT a "plutocracy?"

Ironically that is what Obama ran on ie. changing it and then he didn't.


So at $400,000 per speech - when exactly does obama become a plutocrat?
