He's going after their ridiculous tax breaks, subsidies, and nefarious loopholes. He's going after their stranglehold on growth. He's going after their corporatist/fascist agenda. American oligarchs have always put their corrupt interests over the good of the Republic. ALWAYS. And they are terrified that a second Biden administration could mean the beginning of the end of their unchecked ability to cheat, swindle and steal by fleecing the great American middle class.
And these amoral aholes have their lackeys dancing around on their strings, spewing nonsense in their attempts to overturn the inevitable blue wave that is coming in November.
At least that's how I see it at the moment.
Think. Again.

The American people know from a four-year record that today there is only one entrance to the White House--by the front door. Since March 4, 1933, there has been only one pass-key to the White House. I have carried that key in my pocket. It is there tonight. So long as I am President, it will remain in my pocket....

Joe could give this speech and not be far off from the truth of it.
