Yes, Crony Capitalism is a problem, but...

It's true that certain business sanctions like anti-trust laws are important. Unregulated Capitalism does lead to crony capitalism. It's one talking-point my fellow right-wingers don't care for, but I accept. I'd like to believe that capitalism is best regulated properly and minimally. It isn't right now. Anti-trust and Monopoly laws are either being ignored, unenforced, or circumvented. We do need to fix that.
We need to purge the cronies, the fake politicians, and the business interests that are invested in politics. AKA, the Drain the Swamp.
But don't think it's just the right-wing rich baddies that are doing it. It's all of them.
Let's look at some factors though.
Hillary Clinton had a President Husband, was secretary of state, and ran more than once herself. Then she used that publicity to write books that have earned her several million. She spoke at events that payed her hundreds of thousands per speech. It's clear to me that that's her real motive. Becoming President would only just make it better for her.
Then look at how many millions Bernie Sanders has garnered from the Capitalism he hates so much.
Barack Obama was barely a millionaire (Reportedly 1.3 million) before he became president. So how did he leave the White House with reportedly 20+ million and counting?
The fact is that the left-wing politicians that pretend to care so much about the poor and disenfranchised are making millions off of their hollow promises to those groups. Then they leave the country or regions they're in control of in shambles. They always leave unemployment higher. They always spark racial divide. They always increase crime-rates and gun violence. Yet all of those issues are supposed to be the issues they promise to fix.
