LAS VEGAS, Nevada (The Adobo Chronicles) – At Tuesday’s CNN Democratic debate, the issue of casino capitalism was front and center when moderator Anderson Cooper asked Senator Bernie Sanders if he considered himself a socialist.
During the debate, Sanders defended democratic socialism and declared he was not a capitalist.
“Do I consider myself part of the casino capitalist process by which so few have so much and so many have so little, by which Wall Street’s greed and recklessness wrecked this economy?” Sanders said. “No, I don’t.”
Hillary Clinton responded by saying the country needs to “save capitalism from itself.”
Reacting to that exchange, Republican presidential candidate and frontrunner Donald Trump used his Twitter page to defend casino capitalism.
“In contrast to the Democrats, I am in favor of casino capitalism, and I’m good at it. Hey, I own several casinos,” the real estate mogul said.
That’s Trump’s economic plan. In less than 140 characters!
