Cory Booker: American Capitalism Is ‘Perverted’
Breitbart ^ | 26 June 2019 | Pam Key

Posted on 06/26/2019 6:12:21 PM PDT by E. Pluribus Unum

This week on The New York Times’ “The Argument,” podcast, 2020 presidential hopeful Sen. Cory Booker (D-NJ) said American capitalism is “perverted.”

Booker said, “The head of AEI, a guy named Brooks, talks about this fetishization of capitalism as an end unto itself and forgetting that it is a theory to get us to the higher ideal of more shared growth, better distribution of opportunity and resources. And we have so perverted the ideal of capitalism that now we tolerate policies that are allowing a new era of monopolization, of oligarchies.”

Clever observation, that.

I just might "borrow" it.

No Corey- Gay marriage is perverted- homosexuality is perverted, multiple genders is perverted, transgenderism is perverted- There are a lot of people caught in the sin of perversions, but capitalists, by and large, are not among them-

BTW- how did corey grow up to be where he is today? By everyone giving him free everything? Or was he a capitalist all these years like the rest of the successful people are? Getting real tired of all these ‘faux self-loathers’ whining about successful people when they themselves have been successful capitlaists all their lives!

The USA is so racist/homophobic/misogynistic that families are willing to either die or swim across a dangerous river to get here.

“And we have so perverted the ideal of capitalism that now we tolerate policies that are allowing a new era of monopolization, of oligarchies.”

Note: he's not saying capitalism is perverted, but that it has been perverted.

That's certainly something to argue about - and Corey and government interference aren't likely to fix things much - but the headline doesn't accurately reflect what he said.
