(5,610 posts)Actions speak louder than words and Bernie has both. His vision for all Americans is backed up by his terrific public servant work
for all Americans. I am even counting the wealthiest because in a more equitable society their lives improve (the rising tide
metaphor). Sadly they have conveniently forgotten this bit of history.
When FDR steered America to a more equitable society, the wealthiest among us took pride (and tax deductions..) in being benefactors.
Of course, there were still those whose greed steered them to fight and eventually repeal most of the legislation that that was beneficial to all.
IMO, sociopathic mentality should be discussed, taught in schools, etc.. much like schizophrenia and being bi-polar. Then it could be spotted easier and treated.It IS a mental illness that is detrimental to all exposed. My sister is bi-polar and has it pretty much under control. She is loved by most people who know her and they have no idea that she has to struggle with this illness.
Instead, in America sociopaths are admired for their traits instead of being treated for them. They are highly sought after for positions of "captains of industry", lobbyists, politicians, even doctors.
TPTB are sociopaths, too bad they aren't being medically treated and taught how to be good shepherds...
Enough of my rant but I do believe society would greatly benefit if this illness was brought into the light and treated like other mental health issues.
What a role model Bernie Sanders is, he would make an excellent President.
