Political battles are won when the rich favor them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
When rich people fight wars with one another, poor people are the ones to die.
The stakes in conflict do not change. Battle determines who will control the wealth or its equivalent.
The rich are those who play to win. The middle class plays not to lose.
Politics has become so expensive that it takes a lot of money even to be defeated.
The problem with the professional political class is they make money regardless of who wins.
Whenever the very rich hold views at odds with those of the entire population, the federal government tends to do the rich's bidding.
When the rich wage war, it's the poor who die.
All the political angst and moral melodrama about getting 'the rich' to pay 'their fair share' is part of a big charade. This is not about economics, it is about politics.
I think it's good politics to beat up on big companies and rich people.
Wars are expensive and dangerous. They're not political winners.
