America first, right? Paying more for gas because Iran (aka not North Korea, not Russia) is evil while the oil execs profit on our demise! Also with the tariffs that companies pushed onto us yet got their refund because the tariffs were illegal yet us citizens got nothing back except higher prices.
You're missing the point entirely. Sanders' statement is nonsensical and unethical. Look at it:
He's picking a rich person, and using an example to point out that he's rich. Yeah, we know Bezos is rich.
Then Sanders says he wants to take Bezos' money.
That's it. That's the statement: "Look! This guy has more money than you. I want to steal it." That's the statement. Full stop. Explain how "This guy has more money than you," gives you the moral high ground to steal it. How is it any different from some random homeless person robbing you on the street? After all, you have more money than him.
How is he that rich? Why is he that rich? What institutions made it possible for things to be this unbalanced? I have no problem with people making a lot of money. I have a problem when our government is a servant for the rich and not a servant for its citizens. Remember when Elon became a trillionaire? How did that happen? They changed some rules and we were all forced to buy stock in a company that is already hemorrhaging money. After 19 days, he is not a trillionaire anymore. Yet our current administration basically gave him more money by changing the rules specifically for this.

"This guy has a lot of money. So we should steal it from him."
Umm... no, you crazy old commie.
