I am sure that Hillary would have greatly loved to get Picketty's endorsement, but it sure seems that this French Economist has it correct! Wealth and income inequality, low taxes on the wealthy, families growing obscenely wealthy, etc.

Go Bernie!

2. Actually, Congress is the only 'one' that can raise taxes.

But since that's not happening, regardless of who the next President is, this is a moot point.

6. Effing right. Sir!! Nothing to see, these droids aren't the ones

you're looking for!

But there is a hard wind coming, I believe, and anyone who isn't for the all of us will lose all moral standing and should not be heard from again.

Bernie is the person for our times and those opposing him are quaking at the realization that this country can and will be more fair, and that taxes will be raised so everyone pays their fair share.

Go Bernie!!!

3. No surprise. He is a Socialist.

His endorsement in the GE would not be a plus in this country. It might be in France but not in the US

4. I think you underestimate how fed up the American people are.

7. Picketty's expertise is in numbers and science. The real world.

G.H. Bush called Reagan's "supply side-economics 'voodoo economics'" and Bush (this Bush) was correct.

And for 35 years people in this country have suffered because of the lies told by the rich Republicans.

Time to return them to reality.

Go Bernie!!!
