(45,056 posts)the last time you heard the poor mentioned by any politician? Bernie and Liz do it all the time but this OP of yours isn't about them. Oh by the way Bernie is ALWAYS speaking about the Koch brothers and the harm that they are doing. I don't know Hillary's opinion on them but her respect for Kissinger and her stand on the TPP and her support for Keystone gives me a small inkling as to what she would think of them
From your OP
"How do you think we got into this financial mess? Why is our minimum wage so low? Why do so few people belong to unions? Why do most folks in Western Europe have health care but we don't? Why don't working mothers get maternity leave? It's because the bosses, the capitalists who employee us can undercut wages and deny benefits by hiring the scapegoat du jour."
What are the Democrats doing about that? Why do they get a pass? Where does Hillary stand on that? Not twenty years ago or eight years ago but recently. I know she gave a speech to bankers in Canada but I haven't heard her out there front and center talking about those things.
I don't hate Hillary, I like her and I sure as hell wish she wouldn't run. Another eight years of the same financial inequality and we are screwed.
