I believe that the entire financialization of the US economy by hedge funds and billionaires has concentrated too much power and wealth in too few hands. In the search for more and more profits, they have taken over housing, farmland, healthcare, insurance, nursing homes, vet clinics, etc.

They are squeezing the life out of working classes. We have no more blood left for them to take. Until that is addressed, people will continue to look for "strongmen" to fight for them.

Dems need to come up with solutions. Giving people $25K to buy a home doesn't help if it just feeds the private equity vampire.
