Comparatively. In full context, no, of course not. Not a single US president been even slightly anti oligarchy, democrats included. Democrats in this country aren't even leftwing, they're still just rightwing, just closer to the center. They all work for them, including Biden. Now compared to someone like Trump, who is one himself, and made up his cabinet of them, and platforms on giving Elon billions more in welfare, and tax breaks, and less regulation, less workers rights, more anti union legislation, etc.., he is. I think that's what Sanders was going for here, jut playing with the cards he's dealt seems to be a reoccurring theme. Biden was also pro worker, comparatively. He did do a lot for them, compared to past presidents. But that's just it, they didn't do jack with their time in office. And he's only making these statements now because he knows his term is over, he doesn't need their campaign money now. It's like flipping off the cops after they've already driven by, and acting like you're a badass for it. It's insulting. It bothers me more people aren't calling him out for his cowardice, and inaction, but instead praising him as if he did anything by reciting things we already know, 4 years too late for it to matter. Also kind of shocking to me so many people support feudalism again. And I've paid attention to Forbes for a long time now, I knew what to expect, I thought.

[@dishonoredundead]

In addition to what other people said, assuming their comments remain; no one cares about millionaires. Having 60 million dollars doesn't make you an oligarch. That comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of how much money something like 450 billion dollars is. And most likely a deliberate attempt to conflate the two issues. Whether you're aware of it, or not. You'll learn fast when you get old, even a million dollars is not much to live on. Especially with a family. Whereas people like Musk have more money than entire countries, they can tank entire nations. They have so much money they literally could not spend it fast enough to get rid of it before interest and investments replaced it. And it's all money taken out of the economy, not being spent, the stuff that created America's wealth to begin with was dependent on a solid working class utilizing that money. Oligarchies are everything the Founding Fathers fought to rid us of. We left a feudal society, and now people want to go back, because they think they are going to be born a lord in the next life. Or they think the lords inherited wealth isn't a threat to freedom, or the economy, or the climate, an that is delusional. Furthermore, pretending Bernie was an oligarch, that doesn't make this hypocrisy, he's spent his life trying to achieve this, obviously he's okay that system himself. That's such an ignorant argument that I keep seeing made, and I wish to god people would understand the differences, and nuances. And I know, you'll say "well then why doesn't he donate all his wealth!!". Because he's an 80 year old man, and that would be about 1/100,000,000,000,000,000,000,000 of the amount he's attempting to put back into the economy. It would accomplish absolutely nothing. And he's not even in the bracket you are misunderstanding, and defending, regardless. This is like if the owners of Chernobyl Power Plant got indignant and said "well if you care so much about the environment, then how comes you were drinking from a plastic milk carton?", while a billion people were standing in toxic, lethal, sludge. It's not the gotcha you think it is. And I have no idea why you would be against economic freedom. It's the foundation of capitalism itself, and you still rail against it. For who?

The fact that both dems and republicans have different billionaires determining their agendas literally means we have an oligarchy 🤣

[@snap4720]

Why do ppl complain about billionaires when ppl like you made them so?

[@bevduff6776]

Amazing how SANCTIMONIOUS the Democrats and independents have become once they lost POWER in all Houses. While riding the high wave they thought themselves untouchable but are now scrambling for a show of Relevance 🤮🤮

[@JohnnyTudesco]

it’s called “neo-feudalism”

[@steventyler3582]

Oh my word. Every time minimum wage is raised the people at the bottom lose their jobs. IT DOESNT WORK!!!!!

[@garyragan2864]

Minimum wage needs to be abolished, it has slowly eroded regional economies and ensured unemployment since it was introduced.

[@herobrineapril8451]

losing the minimum wage would allow for wages to be at an even lower standard of work. we need to raise the minimum wage to a living wage

[@cl509]

McDonald's is still desperate ....

[@Aphanvahrius]

Yes, because having the unemployed work for slave wages will certainly solve the problem....

[@somuchbaloney6283]

It makes no difference. Problems with wages are a STATE issue. They should be pickier about who hey let in and hold them to contracts. Same thing with housing. States pretend they have absolutely nothing to do with anything when if they wanted to things could be a lot better.

[@dud3rchunk183]

Its always the companies fault for not paying enough but never the governments fault for taxing too much. Fed, state, solsec, unemployment, payroll, retirement, it never ends.

[@AA80453]

Get rid of the federal min wage

[@lynnmcnamara2342]

BS clearly stated this was on both sides!

[@luckypupito1344]

They shaking in their boots that they are losing those 3 big donors🤣 I guess "oligarchy" is now the Dem's new word of the day. 🤣

[@speleotrog]

Yes, because "oligarchy" exactly describes what is evolving with trump and his uber-billionaire pals. It is a form of government where a small number of people control the power (as opposed to a democracy, where the majority of people share power). In such a system, average citizens are merely resources to be used or liabilities to be rejected. This should really worry a thinking citizen.

[@carlost9454]

Predatory credit cards companies (banks) hopefully can be reined in. I’m skeptical.

[@ChrisChris-i3c]

I have no problem with how billionaires make their money. The problem l have is when an individual can single handedly greatly influence the outcome of an election. That l believe is a serious threat to democracy. What l find grotesque is that people like Musk and Zuckerberg barely pay any taxes

[@Sidneyyoungblood75]

How many of the DNC contributors pay tax? Do you think they don't have any tax planning done by accountants????? If they didn't, then that is totally irresponsible. So all this rhetoric about certain individuals and tax is pure partisan bollocks

[@matthewgibbs6886]

pretty sure he had an 8 bill tax bill in 21 not sure about recently so i'd say he pays taxes

[@THE-ESTABLISHMENT-BUNNY]

Wealth calculated on changing stock prices isn't really money unless the said stock is sold to the highest bidder in which the government gets a huge amount in taxes .....u either for capitalism or communism that's it.....both systems would or is been corrupted by humans 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@AceFlexFitness0007]

Bernie Sanders talked about millionaires and billionaires now that he’s a millionnaire from his book sales he only talks about billionaires

[@robertfreedman6651]

How much money does Musk get from the federal government. Good questions, Bernie. too bad answers were not forthcoming.

[@maryturner5188]

How many people does Musk employ and what are the average salaries

[@123456wasp]

People who work hard are allowed to make more money. People who don’t work make less money! 😎👍

[@deebee7746]

People who don't work hard just apply for any get welfare, because that's what the commies want

[@francksasser1780]

24% doesn't start it. Find yourself late on a payment, and the rate can double or triple, plus the penalty on the late payment. However, there is solace in the fact that bank savings rates are approaching 3%🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@orlandoalessandrini2505]

F'in joke

[@SiLoMixMaster]

Federal min wage being raised will hurt small-medium businesses and increase inflation. Has to be handled at state level.

So, it's ok for one side but not the other.

Time for Bernie to go. He's way past his prime and he's NEVER going to be president

[@Rayoscope]

Wrote a paper for a college history course thirty years ago positing and arguing, I thought persuasively, this very premise. In fact, the title of the paper was: "Do We Live in a Constitutional Federal Republic or in a Plutocratic Oligarchic Kleptocracy". Later, the professor specifically told me that he felt obliged to de-grade the paper from "A" to "B" because, as he put it, "Though undeniably well-written, I'm afraid this isn't an English class; but more to the point, its central thesis is clearly untenable and on its face absurd".

I am more concerned when Bernie will retire from his seat.

[@Aphanvahrius]

He is as independent as it gets in the US in that he constantly has people from both main parties opposing his initiatives.

yes he's doing the best thing he can to disarm America in a state that has open carry law! do you think that they would vote for him in Vermont if he said I'm going to disarm Vermont. are those people so stupid that they don't realize that a law for all of America includes Vermont? you're definitely correct God bless America

[@freedomlovin4578]

Hey. Bernie having a job at McDonald's was not meant to be a permanent.job. It was to help ppl get by.

Hey Bernie, you are a Millionaire yourself, how about giving your Money to Hard Working Americans ????

No amount of wages increase will solve the problem of inflation and it won't make the poor the rich. Why not start by reducing the rentals, mortgage interest, lift up sanction on Russia and other countries to trade and empower farmers first

[@jimrogers6138]

Why can't these people answer a question?

[@jimrogers6138]

By not answering the question we all understand what the answer is.

[@robinwatters6682]

We all know that CEO's make too much money not in salary but bonuses which are larger than salaries. That is where the problem is, somehow that has to be regulated. What Bernie has not researched is every time there is a raise in minimum wages, the prices of everything we buy and I mean everything goes up by 34%. This research was done by universities. So raising minimum wages defeats the purpose. There is no way to control prices, because businesses will shut down. The problems are the CEO's of top companies. Something has to be done there. Congress will not address that, because a lot of their Re-election funds come from there.

[@doubledoverfishing67]

Isnt it weird how when the FED was created in 1913 we started having all these problems? Great depression, many recessions, inflation and deflation of our currency. Maybe ask the FED who the oligarchy is 😂
