Democratic presidential candidate John Hickenlooper said that 2020 rivals Sens. Elizabeth Warren and Bernie Sanders are"demonizing" business in America, arguing that it's going to make it harder for the progressive candidates to get elected.
"I think in a more general way, demonizing business," Hickenlooper told CNN's Poppy Harlow on"Newsroom" Wednesday after the first night of CNN's Democratic presidential debates."Both he and Senator Warren are consistently saying the problem is business.
Whether you are rich or poor a person is entitled to their own money. Government is loaded with millionaires and the only one donating his salary back to America is Donald J Trump. Tell Congress to donate their salaries too.
If you want to get larger you cant do it on the backs of ppl you need working for you. Im sorry if you can accept some profit and not exorbitant profit then you dont deserve to be in business
So your the Republican shill in this race Mr. Hockenluber?
I feel 'pity' for Caucasians ; after the enthroning of the great beast 'APE' their collective state of mind has been bastardized. Values she stood for is what she's against nw just like God is a faux to her. Soon value fr life would be debated.
I guess Hickenlooper doesn't realize that many large companies/corporations like Apple, IBM, GM, Exxon, etc pay NO TAXES. Protecting 'small business' is a Republican parlor trick used to protect billion dollar corporations. Hickey needs to get off the stage before he falls off!
Going, going, gone. See you later, Hick...
You forgot the whole every large business wants to buy any small business that might threaten them and chop them into parts leaving the workers who built them with nothing to show for it thing.
Why didn’t CNN mention the Mueller report? Which they spent the past 2 years covering every day. All day long. Why did not one candidate say the national anthem? They hate this country.
Correction: “Every large business started as a small-ER business”. I disagree with the multi millionaire. Large business doesn’t start on the same scale as real world small business owners such as myself.
Hickenlooper The problem isn’t business. It’s the barrier to entry created by the large corporations. It’s the lack of social mobility left in this nation because of them. It’s them not paying their fair share. We MUST take on the large corporations.
Tip of the hat to you, Sir. You get it! Those others who never held a meaningful private sector job; never had to meet a payroll; are clueless.
Democrat Rep. Elijah Cummings in 1999: 'This morning I left my community of Baltimore, a DRUG INFESTED area' where people are 'walking around like zombies.'
Finally we get some Democrats that don't sound so stupid. maga walkaway potus votepimps toxicliberalism
No, they are not. They just advocate for actual people mattering in our system and that the balance between corporations and the people is too lopsided in favor of. orporations and the rich right now.
I grew up in a communist country. The leaders blamed everything on rich people, big businesses, inequality, capitalism. When you asked why they had better things than you, their response: “because we sacrificed more than anyone else”.
So what you're saying is, you don't want small businesses to try and get larger because if they do, you'll 'tackle' them. Have I got that right? So... Just screw capitalism, right?
Yeah spot on! I appreciate the acumen. For every long journey, you take the small step first.
Please fix the format for tonight’s debate. Last night was too much back and forth. Stick to topics. Moderators were just instigators last night. American people don’t want to see arguing. We want an organized format w/ topics.
Seriously? He didn't say that! How about talking about corporations vs co-ops? You can have big business co-ops & THEY'RE democratic, unlike corporations!
I’m sure they only go after large corporations that don’t pay their fair share of taxes. What’s wrong with that Hickenlooper?
Truth is, big business employs millions of people; he has a point.
What a dumb bloody statement. No, not every small business wants to get larger. Plenty of mom & pop stores are happy to stay moderately successful. What is he suggesting, that we go after small businesses Thank goodness people like this have NO chance in the election.
Most small business stay small, by design.
CNN: Why don't you ask Biden how he made over 15 million dollars since leaving office? Blue collar Biden
Warren and Sanders are nuts.
Amazon systemically crushes and destroys small businesses while paying no taxes.
CNN just had a commercial for Donald Trump's reelection on their network! Lol Yeap, it just happened at 1220 today wth
Hickenlooper cant win but he makes a lot of sense!
right🎈
jesus christ, john. go back to building your ship in a bottle or stamp collection or whatever people like you do.
Career freeloaders know nothing about business.
I remember going to the corner market to get my gas at Exxon... 😑
