    Why wouldn't I tell you? I'm opposed to media outlets concentrated in the hands of a few, whether they be George Soros or Rupert Murdoch. I'm opposed to wealth and power concentrated in the hands of a few, and that's our biggest problem as a country. A problem the average Republican, as a fool, typically votes to propagate while the average Democrat typically votes to ameliorate.

    Very convenient that it’s a big issue now. Today. Not months ago, for you. This is the first I’ve seen you talk about it. Weird how that works. Another of the biggest problems here, is that Twitter and Facebook shouldn’t be news sources.

    He is angry at what he’s told to be angry. By CNN. And “news” from Twitter

    How do you propose we put a restrictor plate on the ambitious who build their empires on intelligence, drive, and hard work and how do we add a turbo charger to those who sit around and complain about it?

    A two party political system is concentrated in the hands of a few. It concentrates wealth and power in the hands of a few and that's our biggest problem as a country. Since democrats like to ameliorate so much, they should do something about it but there they are, just propagating the system (media, wealth, power, politics) along with the nasty republicans.

    Wealth taxes, anti-monopoly legislation, campaign rules legislation, guaranteed basic income, etc. So many ways power from wealth can be checked.

    When you hear those words you know you are dealing with a communist loser. Lowly and unworthy of respect.
