What will little Jeff Bezos think when the government takes all of his possessions and puts him in a government housing project?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Steven_Pearlstein

Pearlstein was raised in Brookline, Massachusetts, and graduated from Trinity College in 1973. He started out in journalism at the Concord Monitor and the Foster’s Daily Democrat, in New Hampshire. He was the founding publisher and editor of The Boston Observer, a monthly journal of liberal opinion, and was a senior editor at Inc. magazine for two years. Pearlstein then joined The Washington Post, where he has served as deputy business editor.[citation needed]

Pearlstein worked as a television news reporter at Boston’s public television station, WGBH-TV. During the late 1970s, he served as administrative assistant to U.S. Senator John A. Durkin and U.S. Representative Michael J. Harrington and was elected to the position of town moderator in West Newbury, Massachusetts.

In 2018, he will publish a work of nonfiction, Can American Capitalism Survive?: Why Greed Is Not Good, Opportunity Is Not Equal, and Fairness Won’t Make Us Poor.

As of 2008 he lives in Washington, D.C., with his wife, Wendy Gray, and two children.[3][4]

Over time, however, the most radical versions of these ideas have polarized our politics, threatened our prosperity and undermined the moral legitimacy of our system.

Bullsh*t, bullish*t, bullish*t. Our politics are polarized because the left is implacably and unceasingly trying to basically do away with The Constitution. Our prosperity has never been better, if you dont have a degree in gender or ethnic studies or journalism. As for the moral legitimacy of our system?Im not even sure what he means, but I dont see any morality on the left.

With Elon Musk just kicked out as CEO of his company, you wonder if Capitalism can survive with this type of threat to anyone who wants to be an entrepreneur.

The people of Venezuela cry out for The Washington Post!

They’re out of toilet paper.

It’s the only way the Washington Post should be used.

Attacks on Capitalism?
So Soros, Bezos, Zuckerberg and others are ‘evil’ capitalist in the eyes of the Left? They never call those guys evil.

Does that mean Bezos is going to turn over his fortune and spread the wealth?

Census Bureau figures show that the five richest counties in the country are suburbs of a single city.Not NYC,or Chicago,or LA,or Dallas,or Boston....they're suburbs of Washington DC.

I wonder what the Amazon Post's suburban readers think of this position.

Of course, this flies in the face of democratic capitalism, the foundation upon which our society has grown and thrived.

Where are all of the Democratic Capitalism candidates?
