Bernie's real flaw politically (CLINTON GROUP) [View all]
There is a wonderful quote from Bernie about religion in GDP - truly wonderful, and yet, at the very end, he had to make even that about money, swatting at billionaires.
Many of those people donate millions and millions to projects to help people. Having money isn't a great evil, abusing people with it is. Wall Street isn't the enemy, we need a strong Wall Street, and a strong robust banking system. Those systems do need oversight in place to protect the people from potential abuse and rashness, but they aren't the evil empire.
Everything comes back to money with Bernie, and as important as it is, that viewpoint is making him miss sooo many important issues. It's a huge reason Hillary resonates better with so many groups IMO. She listens. I don't know why it is his only real focus, I wish I could see it from his perspective, but the problems of the world are much deeper than anything that can be fixed with money alone.
