Hartmann: Libertarianism is literally killing us

Otherwise known as corporate capitalism or the 1%. Thom provides several examples of how they have intentionally destroyed democracy in their insatiable lust for power and money, and to hell with the public good. In fact, don't even let them eat cake but rather die horrid, miserable deaths that could have been prevented with ANY semblance of humanity in them. Human life, any life, has no value to them other than what can be extracted from it and discarded like trash for their personal gain.

"In 1980, billionaire David Koch ran for vice president on the newly formed Libertarian Party ticket. His platform was to privatize the Post Office, shut down all public schools, privatize Medicare and Medicaid, end food stamps and all other forms of “welfare,” deregulate all corporate oversight, and sell off much of the federal government’s land and other assets to billionaires and big corporations." "Every federal agency of any consequence is now run by a lobbyist or former industry insider. [...]and the Trump administration refuses to implement any official government policy, with Health and Human Services Secretary Alex Azar saying that it’s all up to 'individual responsibility.' The result is more than 140,000 dead Americans and 3 million infected, with many fearing for their lives."
