I hope we have a lot of trolls here at DU.

151. And this is why you don't 'get' Bernie supporters

We, here at the bottom, see Hillary as just more of the same. She's talking tax breaks. How will that help the poor? We usually don't make enough money to pay taxes. Hell, I don't make enough to even file taxes. We are going to be stuck in our situation, and the middle class is apparently joining our ranks at a fast pace.

Hillary is politics as usual. That means that politicians will still be bought, and the poor don't have enough money to even buy one, much less buy a whole group. Bernie is what we poor NEED, not only want. We have to rearrange things. Trading imaginary paper with computers should be taxed. Any trade is a product and therefore should have a sales tax. If you are a day trader that should be part of your expense items. Commodity trading should only traded by those who actually use the product, that was how it was originally set up.

And, here's where things make real sense. The more money people have, the more jobs are created, because demand is high. It is not the other way around. Rich people creating jobs is a real myth. If there is no demand for an item, why would any one buy it. And this is where companies are 'cutting off their nose to spite their face', paying low wages or creating an item overseas just means that their are less people who can afford their product. It is common sense.

If all people have REAL health care, then their health problems can't spill over into your space, whether by spreading diseases or having to interact with a mental health problem.

When we are all treated equally, with equal respect, every person prospers. It doesn't mean their won't be millionaires any more, it just means that those at the bottom (whether by their own decisions, or act of birth) makes enough to live a meagerly comfortable life. Believe it or not, there are many, many people who don't want to be rich, they only want enough to live without having to worry where the next rent money is coming from.

I think this is the real split between Hillary people and Bernie people. Hillary people seem to have enough money not to worry about where they will be living next year. Bernie people seem to worry about themselves and their neighbors having enough to get them through the next year.
