In one tweet, Bernie Sanders just summed up how distorted America’s economic debate has become

10. The Pope and Bernie are getting all the RIGHT people very angry!

Why is there such resistance to Bernie wanting Economic Equality for ALL Americans, especially those who have been denied it for so long?

Just follow the money.

Eg, the draconian Welfare Reform legislation which pushed poor single mothers into slave-wage jobs benefited Corporations.

Cheap labor is the goal of Corporations, which is why they took their jobs to third world countries where they were free to exploit workers.

Meanwhile what used to be summer jobs for high school students, are now the main source of income for the working poor.

They played into the bigotry of the Right when passing that legislation, 'get these 'dependent' people OFF the tax payers pay roll and into the workforce, force them to become independent'. It played well with the far right and sadly, not just on the right.

Now we have the Republican Catholics being lectured by the Pope of all people, on what they OUGHT to be doing instead of 'judging' others. And suddenly their Catholicism isn't as strong as they claimed when they were seeking the large Catholic vote.

I love watching hypocrisy so blatantly exposed.
