111. Bernie is 73 and not about to shoot anyone. Listen to his speeches.

Go to one of his rallies.

I lived in Austria, France, Germany and the UK.

Those countries are relatively socialist. We are talking about truly universal health care insurance, free post-secondary education and training, child care that is of high quality, really basic stuff that is taken for granted in European countries. Just what the movement behind it is called is unimportant. It's what America needs to be doing to make life less frightening and guilt-ridden that matters.

I don't know whether you are American or not but when you look at our family law courts and see the bickering over child support payments, it's pretty disgusting.

Some of the costs of caring for children should be shared for all of us. We should expect parents to be responsible in planning their families, but some (not all by any means) of the responsibility for making sure children have shoes on their feet and food in their tummies when they go to child care or school should be shared by all of us. It's just the moral thing to do.
