Over the last 48 years $50 TRILLION has gone from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. Crony capitalism basically runs this country. It is a system of institutionalized theft.

The upward redistribution of wealth over the past 40 years has shifted $50 trillion from the bottom 90% to the top 1%. That’s $50 trillion that would have gone into the paychecks of working Americans. Trickle-down economics was always a hoax. This has been the agenda all along.

Plain old "capitalism," if interpreted as "free markets" and thence to actual markets, can generate that result without "cronyism." Just saying because one line of anti-democracy fascist rhetoric proposes a concern to reduce the potential for cronyism by eliminating democracy.
