1. Bernie is so right on. I agree with everything he says in these tweets! n/t

[Magoo48]

14. What you said about what Bernie said.

[Diamond_Dog]

2. You tell 'em, Bernie! -nt

[Permanut]

3. Right wing wackos..

like Eric Metaxas will explain to us that if we raise taxes on corporations, they won't bring production or money back to the US. Metaxas is what you would get if Sean Hannity and Paula White had a kid.

Total horse pucky, of course.

4. Capitalism has fought the perceived alternative by creating the Military Industrial Complex.

The self examination that Senator Warren has been a champion of is in order. Assuming that we pull out of this current crap, history will look kindly on Senator Sanders. Between him and the Covid vacation, the US workforce has changed.

5. Too Damn Right, Bernie!!!!!!!!!!!

Time we served the Rich some of their own...

[question everything]

6. Disagree with the first. In this country people do not hate the rich; they want to be

the rich. This is why this country will never have a revolution - regardless of the hopes of left wing of the party.

And, of course, Sanders himself is a millionaire let us not forget, being supported by tax payers throughout his career.

[Uncle Joe]

7. I don't interpret the first as "hating the rich,"

it's calling for balance in how government represents the interests of the American People.

I agree, the taxpayers have supported Bernie Sanders throughout his career (as they have every other political leader or politician.)

I also believe Bernie's resolute, passionate championship for the most critical issues of the day affecting the vast majority of the people; many of whom having been underrepresented for decades to be an outstanding return on investment.

8. Exactly.

Since the Gilded Age the moneyed class has sold the lower classes on the “anyone can be rich in America if they just work hard enough” trope — the old Horatio Alger bullshit. People still believe it. But if you don’t have bootstraps — which the moneyed class makes sure you don’t — you really can’t move from your station, and you’re told to work harder. That, plus there’s always someone beneath you on the socioeconomic ladder, so that’s success, right?

But the myth abides and people have been brainwashed into accepting it.

15. Exactly spot on.

It is the great American Lie masquerading as the American Dream.



Never forget this.

[JudyM]

16. Conflict of interest rules for congress don't have teeth. Manchin is earning a lot from fossil fuel

for example. Insider trading is another. Self-regulating, my a$$.

[OldBaldy1701E]

20. Exactly. (n/t)

[stillcool]

9. asking the ruling class of this country

to pay their share is hatred?

[question everything]

13. This was the second twit. I was referring to the first

[rickyhall]

10. I got problem with the rich if they pay their fair share of taxes as defined by FDR.

[Farmer-Rick]

11. I find it amazing that if you make only $20,000 a year

You pay $2,900 a year in taxes; more than Trump with hundreds of millions. In 2016 and 2017 Trump paid just $750.

This is nothing more than a scam by the filthy rich.

[AllaN01Bear]

12. right on.

if the rich use public roads , public schools and public librarys , public anything . make them pay their fair share .

[JudyM]

17. "Old fashioned" is a great way of selling this.

[Martin68]

18. Agree 100%.

[BeckyDem]

19. When some say all he does is repeat himself, well there is good reason.

We have not accomplished these goals yet.

BBB would be a huge step for Americans who need help. Fingers crossed.
