When you consider that businesses are run by dictators—that a firm is not a democracy—it makes sense why a series of rich guys at the top of the capitalist world think government can be run without following any laws.

Work is a dictatorship. Is the government next?

I asked a simple question: “If Republican policies are so popular, why do they need to redraw these maps; why not run on their policies?”

He refused to answer — and cut the interview early.
