“Sen. Bernie Sanders of Vermont is escalating his fight against the U.S. oligarchy with a new campaign directed at the nation’s wealthiest individuals (including Elon Musk, Jeff Bezos, and Mark Zuckerberg) who he says are key culprits in a global race to the bottom that is stripping people worldwide of political agency while impoverishing billions so that the rich can amass increasingly obscene levels of wealth. Announcing a new series that will detail how ‘billionaire oligarchs’ in the U.S. ‘manipulate the global economy, purchase our elections, avoid paying taxes, and increasingly control our government,’ Sanders said in a Friday night video address that it makes him laugh when mainstream pundits talk openly about the nefarious oligarchic structures in other places, but refuse to acknowledge the issue in domestic terms.” (12/14/24)
