Billionaires Against Billionaires Funded by Billionaires
Sultan Knish (Daniel Greenfield) ^ | 2026-05-04 | Daniel Greenfield

“The billionaires and corporations are spending big in this race to oppose me and to support the other people on this stage,” he claimed.

This same statement is made by every Democrat in any race above the level of dog catcher, but when it’s being made by a candidate who is not only a billionaire, but whose only reason for running in any race is being a billionaire, that takes it to a whole other level of hypocritical grifting.

If Steyer were just a working class Bay Area millionaire like Gov. Gavin Newsom or Rep. Ro Khanna, but without their good hair and the connections to the Getty family, Willie Brown and Jeffrey Epstein, no one would have let the confused old leftist run for any kind of public office.

With billions in his pocket, Steyer is able to put $133 million on the table and buy himself a place as the front runner in the race after the previous front runner turned out to be a sex predator.

...

The billionaire who hates billionaires is backed by the Bernie Sanders anti-billionaire political operation, Our Revolution, which is confusingly also funded by billionaires.

“We’ve never endorsed a billionaire — but Tom Steyer is using his position to upset the system,” Our Revolution argued. “Yes, Tom Steyer is a billionaire. But it matters what he is doing with that power: pushing for taxes on the wealthy, expanding universal programs, and dismantling corporate influence in our politics.”

Thank you very much and God bless you.

There are two factions of billionaires in this country.

The faction that doesn't want to kill us all, and the Democrats.

As the late Bill Hicks would have put it, Marketers are going, “Oh I see what he’s doing, he’s going after that anti-Billionaire dollar, that’s a huge market, we’ve done research, he’s good to do that.”

Billionaires don’t care. Take half of what they have and they still have more money than they could spend in their life.

Control over the earth’s population= priceless.

No matter how much you make, you can always spend more than
you make. Spending is easy. I could easily spend a billion in a year. Anyone could easily give a million dollars to a thousand people.

As for Control over others, there are people for whom control over others is their primary motivation. It is power. It is status. It screams “I am important”. It is an empty trap.

It is exemplified by the quote, supposedly by Satan:
“Better to rule in Hell than to serve in Heaven.”

"Workers over Billionaires".

Might as well be saying, 'workers over our bosses', or 'workers over our employers'. Or, 'biting the hands that feed us'.

Billionaires didn't all become rich thru theft or grifting or corruption. Most worked hard to earn wht they have, and those same evil-rich are the ones that make the economy hum and provide jobs thru their investments.

He has a "D" after his name - so to idiot California voters, including illegals, and the massive vote fraud machine - that is all that matters, and that is what will carry him into office.

He is part of the "green" political machine and, IMO, will be worse than Newsom.

Here he is on the massive boondoggle High Speed Rail:

"During a 2026 gubernatorial debate, Steyer stated, 'Complete it,' arguing that while the public supports high-speed transportation, 'we can’t pay any price for it,' implying the project should continue only with strict financial accountability.'"

The commies actually had a way to treat these “useful idiots”.
Once these idiots helped them to power, commies took ALL their monies, even some small pensions, forced them to sweep floors for living, put them in jails or gulags or simply executed them.

If any were interested in controlling their way to universal prosperity and happiness cool; but 99.98% (estimated) want to be neofeudalists reigning brutally over a squalid future and so are headed to Hell.
