The 99% earns less than you might think.

21. The only position of his I've spoken to

is his voting record on gun manufacturers. Now I get you are one of those people who think only in terms of individuals, but I am not. I find it tedious. I actually have concerns that go beyond a single candidate or election cycle. In fact, who the nominee is ranks pretty low on my list of priorities.

Foodstamps is not income redistribution. Income redistribution would make foodstamps unnecessary. Clinton also supports foodstamps, as I'm sure does O'Malley. It's hardly a radical or socialist position. It's a mainstream liberal position. As to who does more for the poor, I'll look into that issue myself. I'm hardly going to take the opinion of someone who referred to Marx as a centrist. If you want me to consider supporting Sanders, I suggest you back off.

To claim Sanders doesn't address the middle class is patently false. His entire discussion of corporate excess is explicitly directed toward the middle class, which is a weak term Americans and politicians in particular rely on. Those bankers consider themselves middle class too. It is a term that means nothing, which is why it is safe.
