5. This fits into their mantra....

(1) Education - Mittens keeps saying you get the education you can afford. Based on that, only the very wealthy or those lucky enough to get a scholarship can afford to get an advanced education. That is a death spiral for any country.

(2) Don't understand how things work - well that is exactly the issue. The way things work now is that if you are rich you pay low taxes but are allowed to screw your employees, etc. If you are lower income you pay more in taxes, get low salary, get no health insurance (screw the ACA) and work excessive hours.

Screw this woman and the coffin she rode in on.
