No way!
I get a YouTube ad telling me that the richest people are 100 times more wealthy than the average person.
They blame Republicans and claim that Republicans want them to get richer.
The '80's called and want their talking points back.
The Democrat party is the party of vast, unaccountable wealth now.
Name a Republican billionaire. Go on.
Name a large business that's backing Trump.
Hard to find, isn't it?
Now how much money is backing liberal causes?
George Soros isn't a conservative or a Republican and he's not donating to those causes.
Silicon Valley isn't pandering for a conservative renaissance and backing Republican candidates.
The "mainstream" media is not covering for the gaffes of Republicans.
Sports and entertainment are not making efforts to appeal to me and condemning people who aren't like me for excluding people like me from films, television and sportsball.
That's most of the richest people in the US right there. The people that the Biden Campaign ad claims the Republicans are going to make richer if I don't vote for Joe.
Here's the thing, Joe, their wealth is included in that average wealth calculation. The rising tide does lift all boats. It's part and parcel of the invisible hand of the marketplace.
"Name a Republican billionaire."
ReplyDeletePeter Thiel, but he's a social pariahs in Silicon Valley and was outted because of it.
Elon Musk is the only billionaire that I know of that is, now, conservativish, and is, well, part of Trump's party now (what some call the "America Now" party that has apparently broken off from the Republicans.)
ReplyDeleteHe's also the only uber-riche that has donated to the Republicans.
There's millionaires out there, but Musk is the only billionaire.
Well, except for Trump himself.
That's gotta piss off all of those lefty Tesla drivers out there, knowing that their 'environmentally superior' car is build by a right-winger. Muhahahahaha.
Musk really isn't very conservative. He's only been pushed towards the center by the left's hatred of anything successful business. And then really only because he's in manufacturing. Most billionaires only have soft products, so they don't get the same push.
DeleteBut, yeah, there's no 'Soros' level mega-doner/mega-controller out there.
ReplyDeleteThe closest thing would be the Koch brothers probably. They haven't been as active lately.
