2nd Street is where I work. 2nd Street is where we all work, whether your 2nd Street is named Denny Way, Congress Parkway, Main Street, Yadkin Road or Haight Street. You and I care about 2nd Street because the more people go there and trade with us, the better we can live.

Bernie doesn't give a damn about 2nd Street. His view is every employer is a Fortune 500 firm in Manhattan, and they're all corrupt. He is therefore going to do his level best to close down 2nd Street by doing everything he can to make it impossible to stay in business. I have a really strange feeling that if I was a businessman and Bernie was elected, I'd sell my real estate and equipment while Obama was still in office, pay off all my debt, divide the remainder equally among the crew, and tell them "we're all fucked anyway, let's get out now while the getting is good."

OTOH, Hillary understands the problems of 2nd Street...which is why her proposals seem to take into account the undeniable truth that everyone needs to benefit from a change.
