Sanders vs. Trump: One Good Conspiracy Theory Deserves Another.

We have spent the last seven years listening to Shithead Trump explain things with reference to a conspiracy theory which blames everything and anything on an invented group of bad guys known as the Deep State.

What I didn’t realize until I read Bernie’s book, It’s OK To Be Angry About Capitalism, is that we have an equally false conspiracy theory floating around on our side, a theory which blames everything and anything on a group of ‘uber-capitalists’ who are doing as much or more to harm the average American as George Soros and his Commie-Pinko friends have ever done.

According to Bernie, capitalism has created a ‘billionaire class’ in the United States whose control of so much wealth robs everyone else of the basic freedoms which everyone should enjoy. Among other things, freedom means:

a. Being able to go to a doctor or a hospital and not having to pay so much that you wind up broke.

b. Being able to pay your rent without having to borrow money from a payday lender who charges exorbitant interest rates.

c. Being able to quit working when you’re 70 years old because you have a decent pension.

d. Not having to work 80 hours a week because you can’t find a job which pays a decent wage.
