When these people talk about "the rich" I think they are appealing to the people in the crowd who flunked math. Don't they know that they are going to need to hate nearly all of their rappers, singers, actors, politicians, and internet billionaires (Jobs, Gates, Facebook guy, etc.)? And when they talk about these rich people paying their "fair share", they imply that paying millions of dollars in taxes somehow makes broke people less broke. It's more like a punishment -- which is NOT the intent of taxation no matter whose rulebook you look at.
Sanders is indeed greedy when it comes to getting $$ for government. But at least he is honest about socialism and his love for it. Unlike the other politicians who claim capitalism is great, but want to secretly destroy it with socialism.
I hope he supplants Hillary as the democratic nominee, and then Trump wins over him and gives us a total outsider for 4 years to tell us when the emperor has no clothes for a change.
Well, I am greedy. I am one of the greediest people on earth. My idea is, there is a difference between "greed" and "covetousness". I am greedy for an opportunity to work and earn good things, for instance, a lot of money; and, having earned it, to keep it, and use it for my own purposes. That is not the same as wanting to take what some- body else owns. But what is new about social- ists presenting themselves as being benevolent toward other people, while really wanting to rule them? A hypocrite? So what else is new?
As is the case practically every time, the person that beats himself in the chest the most has the nastiest skeletons in the closet. Those that talk about greed are the most greedy; those that make a career of rooting out homosexuals are homosexuals themselves; those that push religion on to others have the biggest sins to hide...
Socialists and Commies have managed to snow the uninformed and non thinking in to believing that theft by government is somehow not theft if the victim has more than 2 pennies to rub together.
Probably half the people here (I'm not one of them) agree that Wall Street is greedy. If Sanders' supporters' real complaint were the financial industry was greedy, they would form local funding networks to invest their money and fund businesses. They might also use precious metals and Bitcoin as an alternative to the USD.
Their complaints about the financial system or disingenuous.
He's a socialist extremist and always has been. Driven by jealousy - Question is....National or International Socialist I' betting the flavor that begins with a Capital C. As for going after the Corporatist Socialists. It's a signal for the repeat of the bank busting the Statist Socialist engineered with the help of cooperative corporatists. post 2008. Banks if you have more than $250,000 is not a good place to park your money. That's the FDIC limit unless your lawyered up with multiple LLCs. On his own he's listed as worth $700,000.00. Pretty slim pickings for that many years in the world greatest money making machine. Most with his years in Congress are multi millionaires. Question? How much is he really worth and where's it parked? Curacao?
Quite possibly, but since he is not a Republicrat, that label is disallowed. I like the point though that he is blathering about Wall Street, but he will just as soon take all of your money to give to his special groups, and that's OK. The dysfunction of a Socialist.
