The age of the mass-majority of working class voters not having college degrees ended almost 10 years ago when corporations began gatekeeping jobs more heavily behind the educated and the experienced.
We're not talking about the country club you might join if you win the lottery.
We're talking about assholes who buy whole islands and monopolize whole sectors of the economy.
SBO have always been the most anti-union, anti-tax, anti-education, and anti-democratic group in the US.
What Olbermann pointed out was that huge tax breaks & largesse afforded to the small businesses no reasonable person would call small helped actual small businesses not at all.
the "I alone can fix it" b.s. is that many people work in small businesses. They truly don't understand how large organizations work and honestly believe it's like Undercover Boss.
PS
Should be interesting!
