The Obamas come to heel when the GOP cracks the whip, while Biden spouts drivel about the patriotism of the rich and positions himself as the anti-populist.
Bernie Sanders doesn’t.
In the Guardian, he writes:
“Today, we have a corrupt campaign finance system that enables multi-billionaires, along with some of the most powerful CEOs in America, to contribute many hundreds of millions of dollars to elect Republican candidates to represent their views. As a result, the top one percent has been able to rig the political system to favor them at the expense of virtually everyone else. . . When David Koch ran for vice-president under the Libertarian party in 1980, he advocated not just to cut Medicare and Medicaid, he wanted to abolish these programs. He didn’t just want to cut taxes for the wealthy he wanted to eliminate all forms of taxation.”
