(55,981 posts)Do you resent the help the middle class gives to the poor? Goldman-Sachs and the banksters are sucking up all the wealth. It's the Oligarchs and their "Free Trade" disasters that are putting Americans out of work. If you think that doesn't affect the poor you are badly mistaken. If those with jobs lose their jobs, there is less tax for safety nets. Would you be happy if the middle class all became poor? Sen Sanders is fighting harder for the poor than any other politician. We need wealth redistribution and H. Clinton isn't about doing that. She may fight for safety nets, but she will expect the middle class to pay for them. She won't regulate the banks and won't tax the wealthy. How many hundreds of billions did Goldman-Sachs walk away with from the last great bankster heist of 2008. They got away with it and they will do it again. The trillion dollars that the bankster extorted will be paid by those in the 99% and will be that much less for the safety nets.
