So...it's not that I'm mad at Adelson, I understand he has his beliefs and he stands by them. I'm cool with that. But, the Supreme Court essentially ruled that money is speech with Citizens United so, now whoever has more money has more speech, and I don't think that's in alignment with democracy and what our nations founders had in mind. What we have now is really more of an oligarchy.
Plutocracy
@@topperharley2593 plutocracy or oligarchy? Probably oligarchy
I think Kleptocracy is the right word as the USA is still a democracy. A flawed one at best.
The Citizens United ruling has fundamentally laid the groundwork to turn the USA into an absolute democracy. The very reason that the USA is a representative republic is to avoid democracy which is a disaster. It further shows that congress aren’t alone in receiving rewards for behavior.
Plutocracy, corporatocracy, oligarchy, with trump kleptocracy and dictatorship, democracy has been gone for decades.
Around 2006 he established a newspaper-tabloid in Israel called "Israel HaYom" (Israel Today), which was handed for *free*. Within a few years it became the largest daily newspaper in circulation. It supports the right wing government and specifically Benjamin Netanyahu, and was a major reason for his return to power in 2009.
He loves Israel not the USA
That candy vending machine loan Sheldon got from his uncle at age 16 is worth $110,000 in today’s cash money. Notice that both businesses Sheldon started as a legal minor were capable of laundering cash money. Coincidence? I think not. The real question is, who was Adleson’s uncle and which Jewish mob organization was he a part of?
That’s the thing… they all started off ‘poor’ but they all received large loans from their rich Jewish family members. Same with Les Wexner… this idea that they started from the bottom is a lie
I want my legacy to be that i helped humankind, it seems like the favourite phrase of every shady person
I see him and trump went to the same hair plug doctor
Yet they two alone is making the democrats afraid😂😂😂
Huh, and I always thought he was Jabba the Hutt.
Yep, the love of money is the root for all evils, especially for Sheldon.
*The lack of money is the root of all evil*
If you ever imagine what satan looks like there he is 👍🏼
ka3abneh I agree. I am repulsed at what I see.
Repent!
A monster . .. literally and figuratively.
Hahaha he make the lefties afraid 😂😂😂
@@Saiputera lol you probably ignored the fact that trump is king swamp leader????
@@darkshadow955 democrats and lefties think it was the russian😂😂😂
@@Saiputera lol your getting F'd by him too your just to stupid to realise that wanting your comfort of having a big daddy tell you and non complex oversimplified answer / lie will Not work out for you your lazyness inknowledgability and fear will be your downfall and it is already happening first off financially your being robbed but also with things like environmentally your being literally destroyed and you being taken out of reality through radicalisation through oversimplificational reactionalism apealing to your primal instincts
Big crook
Is he getting a bail-out? His casinos are filled with old people gambling away the money that were suppose to leave us...
The whole point of Neocon economic policies are siphon economics. Why does it surprise you that their biggest donors also run casinos...
@@Lobos222 They don't make anything... Their business model is capital extraction..
@@Larkinchance Aka siphoning wealth from one area to another, without adding anything to the national economy of real value.
His pen said Obama, I’m confused!
Went to vegas for the first time in 2018. I was surprised at how rampant prostitution is in all the casinos. I overheard multiple ppl haggling with hookers.
I live here and have never heard of it, but then again I’ve never been to a club. Hook up culture and one night stands are very rampant though.
Aberration to humanity - casinos are disgusting in enabling loan sharks, addiction and debt.
5:00 all the money donations
How is this man still alive
Well now he ain’t
This man is make America make sense right now. Now I understand.
And democrats think it was the russian lmao🤣🤣🤣
Now do a whole list of Billionaires who donated millions upon millions to Joe I will be waiting :)
commentator: "Adelson grew up poor"
Also commentator: "he took a $10,000 loan from his uncle when he was 16"
Thats $109,000 adjusted for inflation, what white people/ jewish people consider poor always makes me laugh. No clue what the world is actually like at all.
Lol broke people always jealous
It was kind of nice until the demagoguery in the end.
Sheldon, Just a genius!
From a son of a poor jew immigrant to one of the richest prerson in the world.
Thank God for the USA.
God Bless USA.

A person with a magnificent mind who created jobs🤴

Your videos should not show your prejudices. The title is "Who Is?" so this must be a factual, biographical report, not a video to show your own political slant or personal opinions.
Guest Useraccount You don’t get it, Sheldon owns this channel.
Good for Adelson. Jerusalem is the capital of Israel. The historic area known as Palestine is 75% owned by a Saudi family and is called “Jordan”
So he was a democrat his whole life. Shocker
RIP
