CAL THOMAS COMMENTARY MAY 9, 2025
SENATOR BERNIE SANDERS – INDEPENDENT AND SOCIALIST – VISITED THE “BELLY OF THE BEAST” WEDNESDAY NIGHT. SANDERS WAS INTERVIEWED BY BRETT BAIER ON FOX NEWS’ “SPECIAL REPORT.” AMONG OTHER THINGS, SANDERS SAID HE THINKS THE PUBLIC IS FED-UP WITH BOTH PARTIES WHEN THEY SAY ONE THING AND DO LITTLE.
HE’S RIGHT. HE THEN WENT ON HIS FAMILIAR RANT ABOUT BILLIONAIRES AND THE IMBALANCE BETWEEN THE CLASSES.
THERE ARE AN ESTIMATED 901 BILLIONAIRES IN AMERICA IN A NATION OF 340 MILLION. BUT DON’T THEY “CONTROL” NEARLY 12 TRILLION IN WEALTH?
THAT’S THE LINE USED BY SANDERS AND THE DEMOCRATS. IT HAS ONE MAJOR FLAW. HE SUGGESTS THERE IS ONLY ONE POT OF MONEY AND IF ONE IS A BILLIONAIRE, HE IS TAKING MORE FROM THE POT THAN HE DESERVES. THAT IS BAD ECONOMICS. MONEY IS NOT LIMITED, BUT AVAILABLE TO ANYONE WHO PLAYS BY THE RULES OF HARD WORK, GOOD EDUCATION AND ABIDES BY A TRADITIONAL MORAL CODE. DOESN’T MEAN EVERYONE WILL BE RICH AND THERE ARE WAYS TO HELP POOR PEOPLE OUT OF POVERTY. SOCIALISM WON’T WORK IN AMERICA EVEN THOUGH THE WEALTHY SANDERS KEEPS PUSHING IT. I’M CAL THOMAS.
