But then they get free money from the government in the form of "subsidies"
When disabled and poor folks need money it's "GOVERNMENT HANDOUTS!" and "WELLFARE!" But when billionaire scammers get money from the government it's "subsidies" and "pumping liquidity in the form of quantitive easing"
Oh, don't get me started on all the bailouts and the companies that are too big to let fail. And what about the free market? What's supposed to happen in a free market? Even Adam Smith, the person coined the term capitalism, believes unregulated capitalism will not work.
Yeah, but the only regulations we have are written by the billionaires. If regulations were written by someone more like FDR or what Bernie Sanders pretended to be. Then we'd be living in a utopia
