Comment on If the obscenely wealthy benefit most from having Republicans in power; and collectively they have disproportionate control over the economy; wouldn't they use that power to sabotage Democrats?

Can you describe their “power over the economy”?
Uhm. They control the price of things. They control wages. They control different markets, like the housing market. They control land development and energy. You know, things the economy relies on.
How do they “control the price of things”? Or wages?
… they sit on the board of the major companies and say, “we need to raise prices.” Or “we need to decrease wages.”…
And then it happens why?
They raise the price and refuse wage increases. Are you not familiar with how a corporation works?
Why hadn’t they raised them before? Why don’t they keep raising them until prices are at infinity?
Why don’t they lower wages to zero, or negative?
