(17,663 posts)they will not only hit "the rich."
There are ripple effects that go beyond the simple "screw the rich, help the poor" mantra.
Seriously, economically, we are in such bad shape we'll be lucky if what we have now stands intact...
And don't ever accuse me of delivering "Republican talking points."
Economic facts are facts....
I just got finished explaining (with link) how Sanders ditched his own bill that he worked on with Ron Paul (House version companion to Sanders' Senate version) that was up for a vote which wanted to open up the Federal Reserve to transparency..It would have enabled us to see the Fed's relationship to other Central Bans and WALL STREET. At the LAST MOMENT he bagged it and decided to vote for a watered down bill....Then he played around and the bill was again introduced but died.
It seems to me that for all his talk about Wall Street, etc. he seems to play in that space when he wants to......WHY did he betray Paul on the eve of that vote?
