The presidential election is in full swing and tonight, the best the Republicans have to offer will strut their stuff on a stage provided by Fox News. It should be a spectacle. But Democratic candidate for president, Bernie Sanders, is making a pretty good guess as to what will happen when the repubs take the stage – appeasing the rich.
“When you watch that debate just imagine if you are one of the wealthiest people in this country and extremely greedy and selfish, and you’re going to have 10 candidates more or less talking about your needs and not the needs of working people,” Sanders said in a recorded interview with Ari Rabin-Havt on SiriusXM’s Progress Channel.
Sanders continued; “They want to give more tax breaks to millionaires and billionaires at a time when the rich are getting much richer,” Sanders said. “They want to cut or privatize Medicare, cut Medicaid, cut education, cut the environmental protection agency.”
I must say, I do believe Sanders is correct. The party of the rich is only interested in one thing, and that is finding ways to give more to the rich. And that has nothing to do with the poor or middle class. The sad thing is the poor and middle class are the ones who putting these people in office.
