Billionaires Bezos and Bloomberg turn their pages over to the defense of socialism
American Thinker ^ | 28 Sep, 2020 | Monica Showalter

Bloomberg News, which is published in the Washington Post, put out an amazingly shoddy article on why the vast majority of Venezuelan-Americans are planning to vote for Donald Trump. It was little more than talking points to boost Joe Biden. Which pretty much left the Venezuelans out of it. All that was left was an ad for Joe Biden's socialism.

The Bloomberg article ran the Washington Post headline of:

Florida’s Venezuelan Diaspora Sees Trump as Best, Flawed Hope

Flawed. Oh really? Right there you know there are going to be a lot of wet noodles.

Yet that doesn't explain the gargantuan pro-Trump rallies have blown through in Doral, Florida's Little Venezuela, or the rising support from Latinos drawn to Trump that has put Biden to shame. Instead of interview those Venezuelans for their reasons why, all the Bloomberg reporter could bring himself to do was quote the tiny number of Venezuelan expatriates who didn't like Trump, or who were grudgingly voting for Trump, as if it was a bitter pill, allowing them scads of column inches to carp about all the reasons Trump was supposedly bad.

They know exactly how the free market system works.

It means smart young people can rise up through hard work to replace them.

They do _not_ want that to happen—they want to rule—forever if possible.

After those pos have completely decimate the United States they will continue to live happy fat rich guarded with all sorts of security and above all money to burn! While we peasants will struggle to ink out a living all the while morphing into a mirror image of Venezuela..😢 God help us and our children if we don't stand up and fight them!!

Domestic Enemies. Enemies of America. ENEMEDIA.

Trump and patriot Congressmen need to resurrect the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC).

I was hoping in 2016 that Trump would go to war against the deep state and their cronies.

maybe he will now.

When billionaires advocate socialism you know it is just an attempt to manipulate the rest of us. They are only interested in redistributing the income from us to them. Republican corporatists are almost as bad. They show no interest in Conservative principles unless it benefits them. I have the idea that the best way to combat both of them is to really start advocating raising their taxes.

“socialism” is the product of a 19th century thought disorder

let socialism take all their money and material goods and see how gung-ho they are about it

because everywhere socialism is, that’s what’s happened

even being inner party doesn’t make you untouchable

Bloomberg and Bezos will be general secretary level commies. Don’t doubt it for a minute. That’s how they see themselves.

That is excellent.

They figure they are big enough to become part of the oligarchy after the revolution.
