Not to be confused with what "it" is.

I'm sure they run across average Americans most days of their lives. Not that they know how the average American lives, or what a gallon of milk, gasoline; loaf of bread (remember GWB?).

Have they ever had to lose a house to forfeiture because of the banking system that they both support and that supports them?

Do they have investments in outside tax havens? Does an average American even know what that is or how to have one? Don't worry, plebe, you won't find out without at least 1MM in real cash.

While Bill and Hillary left the White House utterly destitute, they did manage to buy some pretty swank properties and have the funds to entertain close business friends.

Jubal E. Bush (JEB) the lesser, has probably known no more hardship than a painful bowel movement.

Of course, talking about various candidates struggles through life is only worthwhile if they bring them up. And it appears that most of them haven't learned a damned thing about struggling.

Though it looks like Jeb is turning out to be too dumb to win the nomination now. Maybe this election's Mitt Romney will be Kasich? Or maybe they will just bring back Mitt.

He was one of the most prolific fighter for the democratic cause of the 20th century, yet he had a net worth of 60 million so DONT GO THERE!

stretch out a chicken for three meals or more.
Struggle with how to pay a bill.
Wonder if the next medical emergency will bankrup you again.
And I'm a rich man! I got it good compared to some.

If Bernie does not win, we the people, will have lost it all, yes even if HRC wins we the people will lose in the end.

Over the top? Maybe but even a blind man can see what will happen when a corporate toady even ones with D's after their name becomes POTUS in 17.

Senator, US Rep, POTUS, Judge will all become another rung in the corporate ladder. It is already pretty much that way today already so the change will be subtle, look at how bad it it already today and most people either don't care or don't see it happening.

All one has to do is be a good fund raiser and corporate toady and you too can Represent the 'people'!
