Vivek's Irrevocable Virtuous Pettiness


Vivek Ramawsamy, Ohio candidate for Governor for the Red Team, suggested all Ohioans should revel in his obscene wealth, even those struggling to get by.  

If you are not for his absurd wealth then you are worthy of derision as you are simply jealous, bitter and/or envious.  

Vivek is running to keep Ohioans paying billions to TechGod companies in economic development incentives.  Ramaswamy was in line to co-head DOGE (which I've renamed DOUGEBAG) but we know the billionaire boys, like their political sponsor Trump II, do not play well with others.

Here's what struggling Ohioans don't know and don't care about, Vivek's litany of shell companies as revealed by Strive SEC filings.

Cicero, who wrote De Officiisthe treatise on virtue, noted:
… [L]et those who are to preside over the state obey two precepts of Plato, — one, that they so watch for the well-being of their fellow-citizens that they have reference to it in whatever they do, forgetting their own private interests; the other, that they care for the whole body politic, and not, while they watch over a portion of it, neglect other portions. For, as the guardianship of a minor, so the administration of the state is to be conducted for the benefit, not of those to whom it is intrusted, but of those who are intrusted to their care. -- Marcus Tullius Cicero

A virtuous Ramaswamy would want all the Epstein files released so as to ascertain the treatment of minors under the sexual predator's control.  I doubt Cicero would endorse a candidate insulting the very public he wishes to serve. 

Who isn't pushing their own book in the age of Trump II?  And what politician is not helping them?

Politicians Red & Blue love PEU (private equity underwriters) and their new TechGod brethren.  Increasing more are one, a position envied by Ramaswamy.  

Update 6-30-26:  Apparently TechGods weren't despizable enough for making kajillions off the federal government while paying little to no taxes.  That's one benefit of being a billionaire libertarian.  TechGods went "all in" on the political Red Team and the Reds have the gods' back.  

The Reds are calling anyone concerned about a system that funnels even more money to people already obscenely wealthy "envious", "impotent" and a member of a "cult."  Lovely.
