Billionaire close to tears amid fears of "lefties" like AOC, Bernie Sanders
Billionaire Leon Cooperman choked up several times while discussing capitalism and expressing his concern that progressives "don't get it."
Billionaire Leon Cooperman was on the verge of tears while speaking about his concern about "the lefties" and their progressive outlook on capitalism.
"I've lived the American dream. I'm trying to convince people like [Senators] Elizabeth Warren, Bernie Sanders and AOC (Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez)—don't move away from capitalism. Capitalism is the best system," Cooperman said on CNBC's Squawk Box on Friday while holding back tears. "I get choked up when I talk about it because basically, my father came to America at the age of 12 as a plumber's apprentice. No education."
"I went to public school in the Bronx, high school in the Bronx, college in the Bronx. I started my career in Wall Street the day after I got my MBA from Columbia. I had no money. I couldn't afford a vacation. I made a lot of money. I'm giving it all back," Cooperman said before co-anchor Rebecca Quick stepped in as he choked up.
"Giving it all back?" Give me a fucking break, asshole.

Remember, those tears are falling over the fear of not being able to squeeze the last dollar out of every other being anymore. They don't fear for their life. They fear not being able owning yours.
Not being able to? They ARE literally squeezing every dollar and penny out of common folk. Imagine diabetic patients dying because they can't afford insulin - which was made available as a medication nearly 100 years ago and was meant by the discoverers to eradicate diabetic deaths. Imagine accepting tax payer's money in the form of Covid-19 bail out meant to support employees and avoid layoffs, then keeping it to themselves and laying off the above said employees. Imagine creating artificial scarcity of food in the name of a pandemic and raising prices across the board and through the roof. Imagine training AI on work done by coders, journalists, writers, etc and then using it to lay off the same people.
Their tears aren't because they can't squeeze out every dollar out of us. Those tears are what crocodiles shed when they mercilessly shred their helpless victims to shreds. It's the tears that a serial killer sheds on seeing their victims struggle for life. It's the same tears that any villainous sociopath gets when they torture others.
villainous sociopath / billionaires
"They're the same picture"
Yes, they are now. But those evil communist lefties try to take their birthright from them! 😭
The team who invented cheap insulin patented it and gave the patent to the university of Toronto for $1.
UT then licensed it out to pharma companies and made billions.
