Bruce Springsteen has said that the coronavirus pandemic has laid bare the inequalities in wealth and health of America.
Speaking during his DJ set on Sirus XMs E Street Radio, Springsteen reflected on the human cost of the pandemic.
Franklin Delano Roosevelt said liberty requires opportunity to make a living, a decent living according to the standard of the time. A living which gives a man or a woman not only enough to live by, but something to live for.
The 70-year-old continued: Now the current pandemic has laid bare the inequalities in wealth and in health that plague our nation.
In Michigan, hard-hit by the coronavirus, African-Americans make up 14 per cent of the population but 40 per cent of the deaths from this disease. So many disenfranchised Americans lack the essential liberty to protect their own lives, and the lives of their families.

As of 2020, Bruce Springsteens net worth is roughly $500 Million, making him the 4th richest rock star in the world.
Thanks for sharing, Asshoe.

Oh, great. Another lecture from a multimillionaire pretend socialist. Lead by example, Bruce. Divide your wealth equally between you and all the backup musicians who have performed with you over the years.
Or you could just shut up.

I have often driven down the rumson road along the river. The manors with their roadside carriage houses dwarf the estates on the north shore of Long Island where I grew up in wealth.
He could do well to not be ashamed of it. Hes done well for himself and his family
Too bad hes an ignoramus. An anti American. Blechh

Bruce apparently didn’t understand the “opportunity” part of that FDR quote. Even a pinko like Roosevelt understood that no one has a right to have a decent living just handed to him.

Says a man who’s worth ... how much again? This must be the latest hit from his most recent album — “Hypocrites.”

He don’t even have to do that. I never thought he was all that anyway.
