That nitwit Bernie Sanders is pounding the "oligarchy" business again.  As did the delirious Joe Biden in his goodbye address on Wednesday.  So what exactly is this?
 
An oligarchy is a country run by a few mean rich people who exploit everyone else in pursuit of wealth and power.  Haiti used to be an oligarchy run by the brutal Duvalier family.  Russia is close to one because Putin and his corrupt cronies are amassing fortunes while protected by a police state.  Bad Vlad loves and cherishes his oligarchy.
 
But the United States is not run by billionaires, although Nancy Pelosi and her stock-dealing husband are trying.  No, America is still a place where hard-working regular folks retain power.
 
According to Wikipedia, there are 756 billionaires in the USA.  Many live lavishly, spending an enormous amount of money on themselves, which, in a capitalist country, you have a right to do.  It's none of Biden's business, or Bernie's for that matter, unless these wealthy greed heads take over New Mexico or something.
 
So tell me, Bernie and Joe, which American "oligarch" is threatening citizens, and how are they doing it?  You can't because your hyperbole is just a cheap gambit to get more tax money.
 
On Biden's watch, the richest people in the country increased their wealth by $1.5 trillion.  So why didn't you do anything about that, Joe?  The answer is - because you couldn't.
 
I believe enormous wealth is often corrosive.  The camel passing through the eye of a needle parable.
 
But I also admire a system where a person can prosper financially.  Certainly, Hunter Biden amassed some cash, right Joe?
 
Honest wealth is allowed.  Bernie Sanders is a communist.  That's all you need to know.
 
Hope you watch the Trump special on NewsNation this evening at 9 Eastern.
