It happens because of the undue influence of money on our politics. That is the factor that allows unfettered capitalism to have the undue influence on policy that it does.

The Supreme Court in the 1970s and Ronald Reagan in the 1980s opened the door to their unfettered influence. Your picture is funny. Do you think China for instance isn’t a state run capitalist system? It absolutely is. Chinese billionaires abound.

It has less to do with capitalism per se and more to do with the way money floods our political system. That is what allows dark money to keep too much money concentrated in the hands of too few.

2/ We need to massively front our resources in the direction of children, making every public school in America world class & providing free higher education. Raise minimim wage. Healthier food.We need UBI & free health care. Everything we do to diminish despair diminishes crime.

1/ If we really wanted to fight crime we would do more to prevent it. Right now we spend billions of dollars to suppress the symptom and ever diminished resources treating the cause.

I said to Joy during the break, “Why are you doing this to me?” She said “I’ve always been fair to you,” and I responded “Not today, you’re not.” I remember Sunny Hostin though was very sweet.

That was totally my experience of her on The View. Topped by Meghan McCain’s full frontal attack in the name of all that’s righteous and good, and Anna Navarro’s claim that “You’re only there to sell books! You’re only there to sell books!” Tough ladies.
