Bernie Sanders: Billionaires Own the Media and Control Politics

Billionaires' Control Over Politics and Economy

• 🎯 Billionaires received a $900 billion tax break while funding was cut from essential programs like Medicaid, the Affordable Care Act, and nutrition programs for hungry children.
• ⚠️ Republicans are pressured to oppose legislation that could harm working-class people, with threats of political destruction if they do.
• ⚡ Elon Musk threatened to spend unlimited money to defeat anyone who voted for a budget bill that would have helped working-class people.

Media Ownership and Political Influence

• 📺 The concept of democracy as "one person, one vote" is challenged by billionaires controlling the political process and the media.
• 📰 Elon Musk owns Twitter, Mark Zuckerberg owns Meta (Facebook, Instagram), Jeff Bezos owns The Washington Post and Twitch, Larry Ellison owns CBS, and Rupert Murdoch owns Fox, The Wall Street Journal, and The New York Post.
• 🗣️ This concentrated ownership means billionaires have unbelievable power over the economy, the political system, and the media.

The Fight for a Government for All

• ✊ It is time to demand a government that works for everyone, not just the top 1%.
• ✊ Millions have fought and died to create a government that serves all citizens.
