This seems to be a very good point on it’s surface. However, the GOP got cooked by a dozen billionaires working very hard and spending a lot of money against a dozen other billionaires. The tea party and eventually the magats, where in no way grass roots.
If you can find a few dozen billionaires, and they might have to be centi-billionaires at this point, it’s not the 90s anymore, if you can find a dozen of them, you have a chance to sway the DNC over the next 30 years just like the magat billionaires did.
Do you know a dozen hundred billionaires who want a 95% tax rate on their fortunes, strong, pervasive worker unions and legal protections, a $70 minimum wage, an end to “political donations”, a complete overhaul of the police and judicial system, free education and healthcare, etc? I bet we can’t find one that wants even just the first one.
Yes, at the tabulating machines.
