America and her own oligarchs
4/14/2022, 6 p.m.
Who are America’s oligarchs?
Our white male politicians yanked the teeth out of our nation’s anti-trust laws to allow this.
Former President Trump is not alone. Our senators and congress members are in it with him. They have no decency.
Did U.S. Sen. Joe Manchin of West Virginia raise his daughter, Heather M. Bresch, the retired CEO of Mylan pharmaceutical company who was at the center of the EpiPen price inflation scandal, to have an ounce of decency or caring for others?
How many members of the Sackler family, owners of Purdue Pharma that was at the center of the nation’s deadly opioid crisis and resulting lawsuits, had an ounce of caring about how many lives they were destroying with drug overdoses?
How many people have died because they could not afford diabetes medicine?
I could go on and on, but you get the picture. Greedy white people will do anything to satisfy their greed.
If you want to see a TV series sure to make you sick, watch “The Bronx Is Burning.” Then ask yourself, “Why is America not dealing with its own oligarchs?”
