Hey Billionaires, NOBODY Wants You To Run For President!

Former Starbucks CEO Howard Schultz has made headlines all week after he announced his interest in running for President, but the American public isn’t too happy about it. In fact, most people are sick and tired of billionaires like Schultz who want to take away our privileges and safety nets while hoarding billions of dollars in cash for themselves, but that is EXACTLY what Schultz’s platform is shaping up to be. Ring of Fire’s Farron Cousins discusses this.

So for the last week or so, everybody's been talking about the fact that Howard Schultz, the former CEO of starbucks, billionaire worth more than $30,000,000,000, I think a is going to swoop in and save us all. Howard Schultz was brave enough and responsible enough to say that he wants to run for president. He's hired Steve Schmidt, John Mccain's 2008 campaign manager, just to give you a hint of how effective that guy is. He's hired him to run this campaign and Howard Schultz promises that he is going to rescue us all because as a self made billionaire, he knows exactly what the American public wants and according to shults himself, what the public wants is don't raise taxes on me and my fellow millionaires and billionaires. Let's cut entitlement programs to let's, let's cut social security and Medicare because obviously, yeah, that's what people want a medicare for all is, is a huge threat to democracy.

So we won't even pursue that. Let's not even talk about it. According to Sholtz and of course the budget deficit, the national debt, that is the greatest threat to the United States that exist today. I mean, I'm sure you understand that, right? I mean everybody, you talk to your friends, you texting with each other. It's all about the national debt, right? That's the only conversation we're having. That's the only issue any of us have ever really cared about. You know, screw healthcare, screw medicare for all, screw the fact that he wants to take your grandparents and your parents and cut their entitlements that they're trying to live off of, to have some kind of a meager retirement. No, we've all been worried about the national debt at $21,000,000,000,000. Oh God. It's awful. What are we gonna do? We're gonna do the same thing we've always done as a country. It just kind of keep going forward. Sometimes you pay it down. Sometimes we add to it. That's what happens. Everything works out fine. I am sick and tired of billionaires. I'm tired of it. I am tired of these egotistical, narcissistic assholes coming in telling us that they're going to take stuff away from us

s who are struggling to live paycheck to paycheck.
