do just as you say kick back and spend lots of time with their grandkids and spend time working on their foundation. I hate to see Hillary and Bill spending their golden years defending themselves against all the shit the pukes and media will make up and blow out of proportion. I want to enjoy seeing them doing things, giving speeches, traveling, being shown lots of love everywhere they go. I don't want to spend my time defending them. They are the 1% and they have worked damn hard to get there,
I don't remember if you and I got heated with each other it's easy to do here, but yeah it's better to be friends and no reason to be enemies. We are all in this together.

Not even remotely similar whatchamacallit Apr 2015 #99

Wait, you think the big banks don't represent the 1%? joshcryer Apr 2015 #100

Warren's statement made sense contextually (no surprise) whatchamacallit Apr 2015 #102

Breaking up the banks *increases* their value. joshcryer Apr 2015 #103
