shove it up into useless ridiculous levels of luxury even the pharaohs didn't have.

They think they are kings and the GOP lets them rule our country.

Next up inherited debt. Because if you can't get the serfs to pay off the debts while they are alive, we can charge their children.

And we let them do this. It is NOT Bezo's money. He didn't earn it. He hardly works harder then one of his Amazon shelf stockers and pickers. Yet our economic system allows him to accumulate more and more of our country's wealth while more and more American children and grandparents go hungry and without medical care.

And I bet he gives money to the GOP and enables Trump. Because he gets all the medical attention he wants and he gets all the food he can shove into his mouth.

You know the old saying behind every great wealth is a great crime? Well, the great crime isn't just behind them. It is in front of them and all over the sides.
