Scarborough: Bush and Clinton ‘Represent the System Under Which’ Rich Get Richer

SCARBOROUGH: “Well, the Bushes and the Clintons.”
BRZEZINSKI: “Well —“
MEACHAM: “Exactly.” [crosstalk]
SCARBOROUGH: “It’s the Bushes and the Clintons. And the fact is when Bernie Sanders speaks it’s not just left wingers who’re saying ‘I agree with this.’”
BRZEZINSKI: “It’s everybody.”
SCARBOROUGH: “I agree, the system is rigged. K street and Wall Street have worked together to make sure that the rich get richer, to make sure they make extraordinary money on capital they already have. That they make a lot more money just moving paper around —“
BRZEZINSKI: “Yeah.”
SCARBOROUGH: “— in their little 000.1 percent of the world than 80 percent of the rest of Americans make working their tails off every day.”

And, yes, Donny, I know a lot of Republicans that would say ‘break up the banks, stop this nonsense, do what you can to stop the rich from getting richer and the poor from getting poorer at meteoric rates, and by the way do it while respecting capitalism.’ I’ll say we do it for the reason Alan Greenspan says we do it — to save capitalism from itself. They — I’m not endorsing Bernie Sanders. You can have a market-oriented approach to this, but just because I’m a conservative doesn’t mean —“
BRZEZINSKI: “Well —“
SCARBOROUGH: “— that I have to support five banks controlling most of the money in America.”
