The REAL "deep state": the billionaire robber barons who own & control everything

Next year, they will own and control the entire federal government. They haven't even begun robbing the American people yet.

They had to back up their limos to the US Treasury and make it official.
They own it all, down to the federal office paperclips and staplers.

Good post.

At what point does a healthy desire to acquire wealth become unhealthy. My guess is it's different for everybody. Somebody like Leon, it will never be enough but somebody like Mackenzie Scott knows the meaning of sharing the wealth. Joe Biden wanted and wants to help the most amount of people that need it the most. Unfortunately some of the billionaires of the world feel a threat to their accumulated wealth from policies implemented by the Biden's of the world. Instead of sacrificing pennies on the dollar to help those in need they have purchased the policy makers. They're puppets on a string, not true believers in their policies. They're worse. They've sold-out any integrity they may have had and bamboozled their constituents along the way. The rich are easy targets to hate. I don't hate them. I don't hate 47. They are disgusting, shameful, greedy bastards that have what most people want, including me. They could be heroic and be admired by many. Instead They're driven by a greed that is beyond my comprehension. They will be responsible for their own demise for at some point the constituency will catch on and vote for different policymakers. Make no mistake, we will come for you.
