Bernie Sanders opinion piece on Fox News site:
https://www.foxnews.com/opinion/sen-bernie-sanders-two-americas-people-vs-billionaires
-Calls out wealth/income inequality
-Calls out billionaires who have way too much influence over media and politics
-Bemoans how the above are NOT democracy
My thoughts:
1. It's rich that a proud 'socialist' has 3 million dollar plus homes and lives a very comfortable lifestyle.
2. Anyone with D behind their name that speaks of 'not democracy' when their party appointed a presidential candidate without a primary and, in 2016, supposedly bought off Bernie to allow Hillary to win the nomination.
3. He's not wrong when he insists that monopolized media and billionaires have too much influence over the US government.
4. He's not wrong that Blackrock, State Street and Vanguard have way too much influence over corporate governance through their ownership of stock inside of various mutual funds, ETFs, variable annuities, etc. (I'm all for corporate owned stock not being voting stock - too much potential for conflict of interest, imo).
5. No mention of the current administration's casual acquaintance with the truth (Afghanistan, jobs reports, Hunter's laptop, lawfare, et al).
6. No mention of the Deep State and its harmful effects to America.
IMO, he's not all wrong but he omits some very obvious indictments of the current administration.
