It's funny to me how the ultra rich always seem to support some sort of socialism/communism type of government while living in America. They also seem to convince their blind ass followers that socialism/communism is a great way of life. Look at the streets for the last couple of months for all the examples you need.
Liar!!!!Filt!!!!

I heard a young wealthy business owner say in an interview that he hates how older billionaires use their wealth and power to influence government to pass laws that prevent new, young business owners like himself from succeeding the same way that the older billionaires did.  It's one of their ways to stump competition.

The very system they used to become wealthy they now denounce.
