(57,936 posts)How can someone write such an article. It says a lot more about the author than about Bernie.
Bernie invests in funds. He doesn't play the stock market.
Bernie wants to break UP the banks -- into smaller banks -- not break the banks.
A Democratic Socialist is essentially a capitalist who wants to use some of the gains from capitalism to do what the Bible says we should do -- help each other and especially the poor and those who are less fortunate than ourselves. A Democratic Socialist is one who does exactly what the managers of the funds that Bernie invests in does -- try to balance investments and the use of resources including money for the best profit for all investors.
And in the case of government, the investors are ALL OF US, all voters, all citizens, all residents and even the world.
The author needs to sit down and talk to Bernie.
