Democratic Primaries
In reply to the discussion: Bloomberg to Trump: "I will do everything I can to defeat you whether I am on the ballot or not". [View all]In my very humble opinion he hates Trump because he makes billionaires look bad. Politics is a lot like physics. For every action their is a reaction. The Dumbfuhrer exposes the truth: Just because you have a lot of money you are not necessarily intelligent, talented, or even a member of the human race. Getting rich is like winning the lottery, mostly about "time and chance" as the Bible says and of course being born to wealth. The public been sold this bullshit for a long time and may wake up a little from their television induced coma and finally get over that tv show I never saw callled (I think) "The lives of the rich and famous" Before I would vote for a billionaire I would walk across the border into Mexico and become an ex-pat. Of course for me it's only a few hundred yards, but it would be nice to live with normal people again.( Actually the people in El Paso are wonderful and very kind.)
I could actually see the sad lesson from Orangeface leading to an actual wealth tax, real antitrust l;aws, the tax giveaway that is the real estate business and a generally diminishing respect for assholes who have dough. Harry Truman said it very well; "Progress happens two steps forward and one backwards." We've already been through about fifteen steps backwards so I figure we got about thirty coming. If we cater to the wealthy we will get the shaft as usual. If he can buy an election so can the right wing rich. Eugene Debs said "I will not lead you to the promised land because if someone can lead you into it someone else can lead you out of it."
primary today, I would vote for: Undecided
