  • Betsy DeVos Confirmation Hearing for Education Secretary | Sen. Bernie Sanders: “My question is, and I don’t mean to be rude, but do you think if you were not a multi-billionaire, if your family had not made hundreds of millions of dollars of contributions to the Republican Party, that you would be sitting here today?”
    President-elect Donald Trump's pick for Education Secretary, Betsy DeVos, was grilled by Democratic senators in a Tuesday evening hearing on her views on public education and her background as a wealthy Republican donor.

      This point is so important to emphasize. Look at the wealth gap for 2017, 2018 and 2019. Corporations get tax breaks while the working people pick up the tab for the resulting tax deficit. Corporations use those tax breaks to grow bigger, thus creating monopolies and stifling small businesses. The rich get ten times richer while the poor either stagnate or get poorer.

      @ispartacus1337 Před 4 lety +131

      And NEVER has. People born into wealth have 0 concept of what it means to be 1 paycheck away from being on the street. There was a show on recently about how billionaires spent time on the street and had 90 days to make a million dollars. Thier concept of how the world works was just unreal. For example one guy attempted to start a brewery but had nothing to pay his workers with for 3 months. He actually expected people to work for him for 3 months without getting paid. Now he acknowledged this was a lot to ask but you can tell he didn't comprehend what he was asking. Another good show from the UK put children of billionaires on the street for a few days and they all went into it thinking they'd get off the street within a day or two. Well you can guess they got a big reality check when the world didn't spread its legs for them when people didn't know who they were. It just shows how out of touch with reality these people are. It's like me going to Africa with the assumption I could move from my one roomed hut into an apartment if I just pull up my boot straps and get to work

      Sad thing is almost every political figure in US history was supported or was themselves a rich person or highly influential figure. Non were really brought to power from a grass roots movement. Even the founding fathers were really just a mix of rich, noble, and elite figures that took advantage of the situation to get what they wanted. Some like George Washington truly seemed like they actually wanted to represent what the preached. But even they were guilty of needing money and power to actually achieve anything. But I guess that’s just how power works. You either gain a huge following. Or a small but rich minority of backers.

I'm not a huge fan of Biden's history and politics. I think centrism is very dangerous. Unfortunately though, I do think Biden was the man to beat Trump. There were A LOT of die hard republicans that voted for Biden because they are sick of Trump and the monster that he is. A lot of them say that they're not too worried about Biden because they know that he won't kneel to the progressive side of the Dem party. Now for us Dem-Socs, that does suck. However, you have to admit that without the vote of some of those lifelong Republicans, Biden very well may not have the lead in all the important battleground states. PA voted for Trump last time around, as did the rest of the Blue Wall. All those people living there that voted for Trump last time still live there, and they didn't vote for him this time.

      Unfortunately, Bernie promotes policies that are not good for anybody. School vouchers are a kind a policy (that Bernie the fol is opposed to) that benefits those that are stuck with a bad school district, but makes no difference to those that can afford a private school. In other words, Bernie really do not have to answer for the outcome of his bad judgement, it’s paid for by us tax payer no matter what.

      @flowerpress1 also, where did I ever say to bow down to him? All I'm saying is that you can acknowledge his ideas that make sense and will contribute to betterment of society without ignoring the fact that he was a slave owner and contributed to a horrible part of american history at the same time.

    • @TheBalterok
      @TheBalterok Před rokem

      You realize that funding comes through somebody being taxed for it, at the pump, at cash register, at county clerk... even if you don’t pay an income tax, you are taxed by hiding it in higher prices. If you would know what part of prices you pay go to these million government programs with millions of bureaucrats servicing it from those huge gov offices, with their bloated salaries and bonuses and pensions you would think twice about voting for yet another gov program “funding”. There is no free lunch, especially if you are not asked if are willing to get taxed.
