Some
of us keep asking why the billionaires want even more money. (For
example, the Koch brothers = $71,000,000,000+. How many times can they
upgrade their bathrooms? Is there a restaurant that they can't
afford?...afford to eat at?...afford to own?...)
The answer finally occurred to me while I watched the last few weeks unfold.
It's about power. Even that thought seems self-evident, but recent
events have brought it screamingly into focus. The right-wing extremist
billionaires (a very small community) want...they NEED...to control even
more of the money...
They have made it clear that they already
control a significant piece of our government...i.e. our lives...now.
And they control it by buying it. Anyone who doesn't recognize this is
either willfully/ideologically in denial or simply uninformed/stupid.
But if they control even more of the money they will further solidify
their control of everything...everywhere.
They will do anything...anything...including destroy your country...to eliminate the competition.
