He should talk about Pelosis worth.

You cant penalize and extra tax the rich because they're successful.

Let's stop sending billions and billions all over the world.

It's time to take care of our own for a change

The US government can wipe poverty out of every state almost instantly if they wanted to.


Nooooo lets send it all over the world

I agree but he's right on here. Probably wouldn't be releasing this video if Kamalala won.

He’s been saying the same shit forever.

News flash grampa, it’s been a fucking oligarchy for as long as I can remember. And he should know. He didn’t get fucking rich by working hard and living the American dream.

This. 10,000% Agree.
 
Soocialism is more honest and better for more people then the crony capitalist, centrally planned state we have now. What some of you are missing is that we don't live under a free market system. The billionaire class didn't get there because they are that much smarter or worked that much harder than anyone else. They achieved and maintain that position in symbiosis with the technocratic regulatory state. Elon Musk for example is a CIA/defense government contractor and Tesla wouldn't exist without government subsidies.

I don't know how he got rich, but his level of wealth is not anywhere near the same degree of wealth and power that he's talking about.
 
Seems like a pot and kettle rant from Bernie, tbh. Don't really see this video as a warning, I see it as him talking down to us as if we're children to invoke a helpless and defeated attitude. Everyone always wants more, but no one wants to pay for it or talk about the real costs. All I'm hearing are points that make me strive and thrive. Who doesn't want to be a billionaire? Set your eyes on the stars and maybe land on the moon instead of wasting time bitching about it. 🤷‍♀️

You know exactly how he got rich dude. The same way every congressman and senator gets rich. There’s little point in talking about degrees of wealth once you’ve reached the multi-millionaire level.
 
Ole Bernie originally came from a tenement about 4 miles from where i grew up
along with Ginsberg, Schumer and a few other bullshitters

The system is corrupt. I agree. That doesn't mean his critiques aren't spot on. He's no more a part of the system than any of you making excuses for it, offering the hopes of one day being your own billionaire, furthering the fairy tale that we live in a meritocracy and a capitalist system.

Striving and thriving is good. He's not talking down getting rich, he's highlighting a structural problem with our current system.
 
The only thing I fault Bernie's video is that we didn't just enter an oligarchy because Trump and his billionaire tech bros are now in charge.

I don't see it as a problem. I see it as propaganda.

We've gone from taxing the richest Americans from 50% in the 1950's to 15% or less nowdays. That's the reason the middle class was much better off then. Trickle down has never worked and never will. It only makes the rich even richer and the rest get bread crumbs. Cutting taxes for the rich has never benefitted the workers, ever.
