There is a "billionaire class," and now the cabinet of our highest office is completely stacked with them. This is going to get a lot worse before it gets better.

It's been worse for the last 8 years. It's just now starting to get better.

It depends on the billionaire, doesn't it? Having a billion dollars doesn't make someone a nefarious character like socialist Sanders wants you to believe.

Spot on. We have vilified rich people in this country. Even if they acquired their wealth legally somehow it is wrong. And if they are rich then they have a duty , some kind of "moral obligation" to give most of it away! Many rich people became rich because they are smart and hard working. Yeah God forbid we should have people like that in the Cabinet! Let's put in a bunch of stupid, irresponsible , poor people!

The billionaire class is the big money donor class. If you vote for the billionaire class, you get the preferred policies of the big money donor class. And that means elimination of SS, Medicare and Medicaid. Programs the billionaire class have no use for. Its certainly not the policies that would strengthen rural America, thats for sure!

Oh that poor donor class. Poor, poor donor class. They've been buying your politician for 40 years and laughed at you behind your back and you continue to defend them. Its ridiculous. They dont care about you. Why do you care so much about them? Goldman Sachs are now in charge of the Treasury, just like under Obama, and you think they are going to "fix the corrupt system" that made them rich? How naive can you be?

And yet you don't have any problem with Hillary taking tens of millions of dollars from them, probably hundreds of millions over the years especially if you include the Clinton Foundation slush fund.

Liberals are such hypocrites, you wail about billionaires and yet you were all for billionaire Elizabeth Warren. Hypocrites.

The man offered no leadership and brought no real world experience to the job.

BTW, wasn't Mark Cuban (a TX Billionaire) 100% supporting of Hillary?

The title of this thread is "Sanders was 100% right." Why do you think the OP is ok with Hillary taking money from billionaires?
