We're overworked, underpaid and without power; thanks capitalism!

Only in unicornville does somebody not realize that our GDP is driven by consumer spending, and with Medicare for all each American could average a five thousand dollar savings even though taxes will go up, because the net savings will be the near elimination of premiums.

Increases in minimum wage will make more consumer demand and growth of GDP.   Investments in infrastructure will increase private sector jobs and grow the economy.   Bernie's words are not new.   They are simply true, and have nothing to do with unicornville which is where thousands die and a third of our national debt was run up the flag pole making special interests wealthy and further increasing wealth inequality in America.....nope the Bernie revolution is because people understand the simple truth in Bernie's message.

The long term liability TODAY for all parts of the current Medicare programs exceeds $27 TRILLION and for Social Security nears $15 TRILLION.  

Who does that money come from?  No, we don't have that many wealthy people.  And, as you know, corporations have to take the money from their customers.

The conservative answers are:  Lower the minimum wage.  Get rid of Obamacare.  Eliminate taxes on the ultra rich and big corporations.  End legalized abortion.  Increase military spending.  Push fracking and the Keystone pipeline.  Get rid of environmental regulations.  Put prayer back in schools.  Eliminate over the counter female contraceptive devices. Etc. Etc.

You have to be kidding!

Now you're just talking gibberish!

In a corporation Who decides HOW MUCH PROFIT is justified? What justifies setting up a headquarters overseas to avoid paying US taxes altogether?  Can you say bloodsucker?

Down with Amerika Inc.  Corporate control of our government through corrupt campaign financing!

As you well know, NO ONE in a corporation decides HOW MUCH PROFIT is justified.  COMPETITION  determines the profit margin.

Same thing holds true with taxes.  When taxes become punitive and draconian, you simply go elsewhere.

You do the same thing.

I understand your p.o.v.  Tell me, do you think an American corporation should have any loyalty to this country?  Should it have any responsibility to American workers?
