This guy is proof that money needs to be removed from politics.


There is so much money in the multi-billionaire "pool" that a small minority of plutocratic elites who want to be our overlords can buy the government with petty cash and play with the country in whatever sick way they desire.

The Declaration of Independence, the first law of the American vision, states quite clearly ...

the Unanimous Declaration of the thirteen United States of America:

When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another, and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the laws of Nature and of Nature’s God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.

—That to secure these rights, governments are instituted among men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed,

—That whenever any form of government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new government,

laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness.


Prudence, indeed, will dictate that governments long established should not be changed for light and transient causes; and accordingly all experience hath shewn, that mankind are more disposed to suffer, while evils are sufferable, than to right themselves by abolishing the forms to which they are accustomed.

But when a long train of abuses and usurpations, pursuing invariably the same object evinces a design to reduce them under absolute despotism, it is their right, it is their duty, to throw off such government, and to provide new guards for their future security.


Such has been the patient sufferance of these colonies; and such is now the necessity which constrains them to alter their former systems of government. The history of the present king of Great Britain is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute tyranny over these states

I don't remember any of you caring this much about Bill Gates or George Soros when they get involved in politics.

reply

Who is "any of you"? Great way to start a comment to notify readers there is a troll post to follow.

Who gives a shit what you remember, especially when you cannot draw a distinction about something so obvious - but if you actually cared about money in politics then, are you saying you changed your mind because you like Elon Musk? Your illogic and bias just shows a complete lack of integrity.

reply

Sorry I can't hear you over the sound of your massive vagina full of sand.

LMAO

Edit: They need thumbs up and thumbs down buttons on here like youtube has.

reply

A guy disagrees; therefore, he's a troll. Okay.

Miyagi dude, you're right.

Not liking the money of bad people like Soros in politics, but being okay with the money of good people like Musk in politics, isn't illogical. It's perfectly logical. Being biased in favor of good people over bad people is also rational.

You and your idiot pals are pretenting not to see the point.
I know youse are just automated AI trollls, but even so, your should
understand that, unless you are programmed to ignore reality, which you are.
Musk spent $250 million out of $300 billion net worth.
That is 0.08333%, it is less than petty cash.
If you dimwits cannot differentiate that, you prove you are halfwit trolls.
That is more than any single person has ever spent to manipulate election.

reply

He’s right though - your hypocrisy stinks.

Nice mound of Leftist cope btw 👍🏻🤣

reply

Uh, newsflash, rich people have been in control of things from the start.

We just don't usually get to hear them challenge other billionaires to UFC style fights or hear about their ten children from ten different women.

At least Musk makes me laugh every now and then - Gates is straight up creepy.

reply

A moron votes for someone who makes them laugh.

reply

Newsflash, billionaires don't get elected.

I'm just Mr. Newsflash here.

reply

You misspelled moron.

You assigned way too much influence and credit to Elon Musk.

I don't know in what way his money could have helped - I saw several dozen Harris TV spots and saw exactly one for Trump. Add to that all the celebrities pushing Harris and the push from MSM and it seems Harris got 10 times the help outside of politics than Trump did.

People just don't want to concede that Harris was simply not a viable candidate. At all. Whenever she had to speak without a script, she made Joe Biden seem on the ball. She never accomplished one thing of note in her life.

The fact that that big obnoxious orange cheeto won so easily proves what a terrible candidate Harris was - that's why Trump will be taking office again in January.

reply

If there were a better candidate than Trump and Harris, but without money backing, he or she would have no chance to win, no chance even to be known.

The only viable candidates are the one endorsed by money, that is the current system.

Those money is not charity, it has to be paid back with favours, that is the system.

reply

It's called corruption in case you don't know.

reply

Make it legal, calling it "lobbying" makes all the difference.

Just change the wording and everything is fine.

You see, most people acted like everything was OK.

reply

He just needs to go away..
