Senator Sanders was on the Senate floor for hours yesterday. This evidently was from last week. The nation is at war with itself. I has taken sometime for the side that is losing badly to wake up. Bluedog Dems and Republicans are both to blame for the dismantling of the middle class. “The top 1 percent of earners makes more then the bottom 50 percent.”
Please watch this video.
Senator Sanders is a hero to the people and I believe he has reached his tipping point. If you are religious say a prayer for him. If your are not thank our lucky stars that he is here and enraged at the injustice both partys are guilty of perpetrating.
The man is outraged and speaking for the people.
Income inequality is one thing, but wealth inequality, which today is staggering and going well beyond 1929 levels, is another. Extending estate tax relief can only have the effect of increasing wealth inequality ever more.
Is it safe to say that we are heading back to 19th century England, which gave rise to Marx’s Das Kapital, when there were just two classes of people: wealthy aristocrats and almost everyone else, the poor?
