    sadly, but not surprisingly, the entire forum is filled with whiny and pathetic threads made by these right wingers - all they do is hate with not a shred of substantive discussion in any of their pathetic threads - that is because they have no principle, no reasoning whatsoever

    the right calls it, bailing out the wealthiest, and then, letting it trickle down.

    Just the right huh?

    "Seeking to tap into populist sentiment, Obama may now acknowledge that Wall Street was responsible for the 2008 financial crisis, but, back in 2008 — you know, when it really mattered — he bailed out Wall Street, and let the corporate culprits off scot-free, with piles of working-class Americans’ money in their already bulging pockets.

    Citing its “Too Big to Fail” policy, the Obama administration rewarded Wall Street for crashing the economy, at the sum of a whopping $700 billion tax dollars."

    Isn't a filthy rich socialist a bit of an oxymoron?

    Only because of DNC superpacs, which pretty much just let them decide who their candidate is.

    For stepping down herself, Hillary was given a job she had no qualifications for (SoS), and assured she would be the next president.

    The worlds elite picked the new president at least 12 years ago.

    Bernie's FCC report did not make him appear wealthy enough to pull that off. I chided Bernie over his wasteful use of the income he gets.

    Yes, i get that a republican administration signed for that public policy. Public policy does not get enacted without politics, in Congress.

    We have to compete in a Global economy with the Best form of Socialism in the entire World.

    Not Only can the wealthiest get "bailed out" and keep their multimillion dollar bonuses while on means tested Corporate Welfare, but even the poor can still have steak and lobster on their EBT cards.

    For his generation, being only worth a couple mil is really kind of pathetic.

    If you adjust Bernie's length in politics for Hillary inflation of corruption, he's worth 350 mil, easy.

    Indeed. But Hillary is not pretending to be a Socialist, is she? Still, Bernie's couple millions will go a long way if he spread them among his followers, who do not have two pennies to rub together. Should not he lead by example?

    Only if he wants to cover multitudes of sins instead of solve simple poverty, officially.

    Socialism dictates only one system. Capitalism arises from freedom.

    Bernie and his wife ain't paying their fair share. Government needs to steal more of their money until they're living in the projects. Redistribution should start with Democrats. Since they believe in it so much, they should all live in poverty.
