The truth is, the repubs (and others) have not taken the time to receive Bernie's message and positions. If they actually listened to him... well... Wow... he actually makes sense.

(2,065 posts)Money's only as good as what you can do with it, right? That's what the 99% think, as accustomed as they are to living from paycheck to paycheck. But for the super rich, how much of the money supply you control - whether or not you ever use it or spend it - gives you POWER, and with it political influence. The overwhelming greed and lust for money and power of the super rich is ultimately irrational and insane - it's totally blinding to any clear vision of what is best for the economy as a whole, and for its sustainability - and the sustainability of our species, and our planet. They invented this crazy fiction of "trickle down economics" and went to such great political effort to brainwash the rest of us into believing it - when a clear headed, rational analysis of economics would lead you to the conclusion that DEMAND is what really stimulates the economy. At least this guy is honest, and may have some genuine concern for the true health and sustainability of our economy, and our nation.
Ultimately, unchecked greed kills the goose that lays the golden egg.
