68. Amazing how you can rationalize calling me names in lieu of debating the issues.

I am not an expert and don't claim to be. But instead of showing me where I am wrong, you choose to try to shut me up with ridicule. I have been begging for a debate on the issues by those that don't agree but you came about as close as I have ever gotten.

I see 16,000,000 children living in poverty with another 16,000,000 living in low income homes. I believe this is because we've allowed the big money to control our government and their wealth has been growing rapidly. I believe if we elect a candidate that is beholden to the big money we will continue to see the wealth increase for the big money and more and more poverty. Sen Sanders will have a very hard time trying to fix our problems but it's a start in the correct direction.
