Bernie Sanders Sarcastically Congratulates Billionaires for Making America an ‘Oligarchic Form of Society’

February 17, 2022

"Senate Budget Committee chair Bernie Sanders says there’s “really, really good news” — for the wealthiest Americans.

In a Senate floor speech, the progressive senator from Vermont took aim at billionaires and CEOs, and called for the government to take action on social and climate spending.

What I want to point out this afternoon is that while the vast majority of people in our country are hurting emotionally, they’re hurting economically, these are not difficult times for everybody,” Sanders said.

He said that for billionaires and CEOS of large corporations, “these times have not been bad — they in fact have been very, very good.”

“Maybe the time is approaching that we should offer a unanimous resolution congratulating the billionaire class for their enormous success in moving this country into the oligarchic form of society that they have long desired,” Sanders said."
