7. Some very unfair things being said in this and other threads...

...and let me just say this. That I have seen Sanders supporters full of righteous indignation engage in coarse dialogue with Hillary supporters and vice versa is not a point of pride for me, necessarily, as a Democrat. I value spirited discussion and I think that is mostly what I've seen but on occasion I have seen ugliness coming from either side. We will have to find a way, and I think it's possible, to heal those wounds when it's time to vote in a general election.

I think that our characterization of the 1% or the 0.1% as "evil" is uniquely relevant to the years after 1980. I think that wealth accumulation took a major hit in 1929 and that the road out of that was progressive taxation, responsibility and investment in the U.S. I admire that period of time for those reasons (and lament it for others) but I find it erroneous to characterize FDR or JFK in the same way one might characterize the Koch's or Sheldon Adelson or Rupert Murdoch today. The only similarities between those generational wealth holders are their relative wealth and their skin tone.

The comparisons Sanders' campaign might be trying to make is in reference to political ideology and goals. To draw the connection that OP attempts above is to ignore not only Sanders' campaign rhetoric but the differences between eras past and today.
