Here is why Bernie Sanders is so important.

14. Thanks for posting confirmation that Bernie is indeed on this path.

I honestly think that as we look at the evolution of economics, it has gone from slavery, to feudalism, to where we are today. And I strongly suspect that racism has at least some component of slavery attached to it.

I'm thrilled that you posted your link. It just confirms how incredibly important Bernie's goals are.

The reason this is the single most important topic is that everything in a society is at the mercy of who holds the surplus, and how it is arranged.

Oh, I need to edit my op, because I've not given enough attention to the notion that by following our present arrangement, we have simply given the few "owners" of our employee/employer relationship the means by which to continue and strengthen that situation in perpetuity.

We've given our power away. It's just that simple.

I've thought about how this can be turned around, and I'm surprised at the lack of replies with criticism to that effect. My belief is that where there's a will there's a way. I say that because we far outnumber the business owners and politicians. It can be done. But it cannot be done any other way. We've already seen the days of acceptable capitalism. They're long gone now.
