5. Greed is not even hidden anymore.

They despise us.

From one angle we are only part of the equation when it comes to earning more money. The smaller part of the equation we can be, the better.

From another angle, every part of our lives are tied to their profits from birth to death.

They will even wage wars for profit now. They have no moral compass. They are craven.

We, as Americans, need to elect Bernie for the good of the whole world.
