I absolutely agree with you, Mark Shields, that “you can’t have both billionaires and democracy”. But no matter how many times, and who our messenger is about this, it gets met with “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” monkey actions. Most people have to learn the hard way.

I absolutely agree with you, Mark Shields, that “you can’t have both billionaires and democracy”. But no matter how many times, and who our messenger is about this, it gets met with “Hear no evil, see no evil, speak no evil” monkey actions. Most people have to learn the hard way. The pissy thing is they drag us down with them. WE are the only messengers we can rely on. WE are the only ones who can steadfastly refuse to buy in to the worship of the Golden Calf. WE are asked to accept the baton and create -in the midst of chaos,- shelters for sanity, for learning, for strategizing how to build from the tools available to us, a functioning society. New-Deal-Americanism is in the crosshairs facing the firing squad. How we chose to go forward defines our character as human beings. Today President Jimmy Carter is laid to rest. He set a pretty good example for character and service. But no one promises you a prize at the end. Because it’s about more than US and OUR present moment. Together we can build a bridge to a future where we did not “Obey in Advance”. I don’t know what it will look like there. But it will more likely be better for our positive involvement and actions.
I don’t know Soros doesn’t bother you Bloomberg doesn’t bother you up until now. Bezos didn’t bother you Zuckerberg doesn’t bother you. Gate doesn’t bother you buffet doesn’t bother you.
Here’s a little quote I’m gonna give you. You shouldn’t worry about billionaires becoming politicians. You should be worried about middle of the road average citizens becoming legislators in Washington DC and on a minimal government salary becoming multimillionaires years later
