    Default 'The very rich get richer' Democrats' fight over Biden investment plan goes public

    Internal party warfare between progressive and moderate Democrats over Joe Biden’s $3.5tn tax-and-spending package has burst dramatically into the open after Vermont senator Bernie Sanders launched a thinly veiled attack on West Virginia senator Joe Manchin in an op-ed published in the centrist Democrat’s home-state newspaper.

    Sanders, writing in the Charleston Gazette-Mail, described opponents of the legislation as “every Republican in Congress as well as the drug companies, the insurance companies, the fossil fuel industry and the billionaire class”.

    He added that opponents of the bill support a status quo “in which the very rich get richer while ordinary Americans continue to struggle to make ends meet”.

    The Rich 'Donor Class' continue to support their Politicians. What were you expecting?

    It must really piss off Manchin that Sanders attacked him in his hometown newspaper.

    Facts are: Working Class gets thrown under the bus by 'Uncontrolled Immigration'. CHEAP LABOR means GREATER PROFITS. Donor Class PROTECTS their own.

    If you cannot compete against someone with no English you need to polish your own skills.

    When you keep shooting yourself in the foot, don't expect any mercy from the Donor Class.

    That is not the fact at all. The majority of the wealth you create goes right up to the top. The top 1 percent is making out from Reagan onward.
    The wealthy have sold the idea that it is the bottom that takes away the money. It is not. We were in a lockdown and the people were suffering. The wealthy added a couple of trillion more to their offshore bank accounts.

    I don't like illegal immigrants depressing wages and taking jobs away from my fellow Americans. I take it you do and support that practice?

    Why should you be in America, you fucking idiot? How about we give them your job, motherfucker!

    Then it will be their wealth "going right to the top", and not yours, so that will make you happy, right?

    I'm guessing you think addressing 'Black Issues' is a good idea. Other than being the right thing to do, it's a Vote-getter.
    You probably also think addressing 'Woman Issues' is a good idea.

    Somehow, some way, you fail to understand how addressing 'Working Class Issues' is a good idea. By failing to do this, you hand over a large Voting Bloc to the Republicans, Party of the Wealthy.
    You 'shoot yourself in the foot', by ignoring the concerns of 'The American Working Class'.

    You complain about the Donor Class ... while unknowingly, you work for them.

    You are very bad at guessing. Don't do it.

    Yes. CHEAP LABOR helps 'the economy'. 'GREED IS GOOD'.
