Bernie Sanders slams Sergey Brin over his $102 million fight against California’s billionaire tax after Brin’s $140 billion wealth surge.

A reminder of the sheer wealth these corporations and individuals hold, and how they use the power we give them to influence politics & people.

It is a long journey, but it is worth moving away from these businesses.

      Let him. Someone who isn’t a billionaire has to get paid for that garbage to get disseminated, and god knows billionaires aren’t competent enough to run an ad campaign alone. And as recent primaries and elections have shown, there is a ceiling to what money can buy when it comes to votes. Maybe threatening to tax the rich can be a new jobs program 🤷‍♂️
