    The media tries so hard to make my move to the White House, as it pertains to my business, so complex - when actually it isn't!
    he postponed his press conference on the matter, with a transition official saying "This isn't exactly easy stuff".

    "The 17 people who US president-elect Donald Trump has selected for his cabinet or for posts with cabinet rank have well over $9.5 billion in combined wealth, with several positions still unfilled. This collection of wealth is greater than that of the 43 million least wealthy American households combined—over one third of the 126 million households total in the US."

    Good. Less ideologues and more people that know how to get things done.

    yes, getting the heads of business into positions in direct control of the positions they have always wanted to influence so they can have more power and line their pockets

    it sounds like a type of far right gov't that rose to power in europe in the 40s by having a strong head figure and mixing business and politics

    Or getting people that actually know how our complex economy work into positions that heavily influence our economy is a smart thing?

    It doesn't really matter because if it wasn't the size of their wallet it would be something else. But this is more divisive politics from the establishment left. HATE RICH PEOPLE!

    just curious, what did the republicans do for 8 years if me pointing out the scary trend of fascism that is being embraced in this country is me playing "divisive politics"

    The establishment right has been been almost as bad as the establishment left in this country.

    Liberal economics is designed to help the wealthy. Government always favors the wealthy.

    Government acts as a buffer so the wealthy can hide. You cannot tax people into wealth.

    what has the Republican party in the USA been doing the last 8 years?

    For starters you aren't pointing out facism. You are pointing out that wealthy people are somehow not qualified to be in these positions.

    The right has been calling out the Obama administration for being facist. You know...all those executive orders which great enhanced the power of the executive branch?

    If you call Obama's fetish for executive orders as being fascist (which I supposed you could) what do you call a Congress that absolutely stonewalls working with the president on literally ANYTHING on purpose?

    As for several of the president-elect's nominees thusfar, what would Repubs say if Hilldog had won the election and nominated 3 Goldman-Sachs people and the former CEO of Exxon-Mobil?? Generally speaking are billionaires considered to be populists??

    It's not clear to me that you know what it is either.

    But at least you know that Obama brought respect to the office... whatever that means

    For your first question, if Obama is a fascist and Congress stonewalls, then good for Congress.

    On your second paragraph. I agree with you on the hypocrisy. To answer your second question, I think a good chunk of billionaires are populists. And populism is not a good thing.
    thank you weso1!
