Not sure why you are ignoring the fact that Sanders and Warren don't have stockpiled profits or billionaire managers taking home the cash not being paid to staffers.

If they could they would. Who do you think is more powerful, the billionaire, or the politician who asserts his will on the billionaire? Case (s) in point:

1. Amazon/AWS losing the Pentagon cloud deal to Microsoft [1]

2. Amazon driven out of NYC by AOC and co. [2]. And still people think Bezos is the powerful one.

So they can stomp on people on their way to power as long they don't earn too much money on the way?
