(19,537 posts)And get unions powerful enough so that we can all start making salaries like we did 10-20 years ago.
And Walton family and Walmart doesn't have US taxpayers pay for government assistance when they INTENTIONALLY don't pay their workers enough so that they can get the government to pay their salaries that Walmart should be paying them instead of inflating the Walton families obscene wealth. THAT is the kind of government spending that we have NOW that the wealthy don't want you to get rid of that Bernie will.
And instead of us paying more to the obscenely wealthy in social security benefits because those making a lot of money tend to live a lot longer than those of us who don't, have it be a pure flat tax so that they no longer as billionaires only have to pay the same taxes that those making $116k a year pay, that is not only paying for our retirement but paying many death and disability benefits of so many others too.
It's crap like that which will change with Bernie in charge where we will get the wealth where it should be retrieved, and reverse the current tax and revenue policy (or corruptly paid for lack of it in many instances) that will get us back to the wealth divide that was a lot more healthier earlier than it is now.
