Bernie Sanders at his best

This feels as callous as a top executive rationalizing why his employees should be paid $15,080 a year at full time 40 hours a week.

I'll go out on a loose branch to say what I think would be a more ideal solution. Have the government redistribute the wealth to help level annual earnings. Large companies still paying about $15k a year for someone? Have that individual get another check from the fed helping them reach the median income for their area.

I'd also like to see people give more of a fuck about each other. That's something that no politician can really do, but it sucks how hateful people can be towards each other. Especially to the poor and downtrodden. To me this is more of the root of our problem, and we need to own up to it. I'm a Christian, and there's no way I can associate myself with the Republican party because of how awful they depict and treat the poor.

Biggest offense to me lately was when Mexico had all those unaccompanied minor flow into the U.S. You would have thought they weren't even human with how the Republican's were depicting those people. I thought it was an awesome opportunity the U.S. had to be a good guy and help some kids out, but noooo way. There's been other bullshit that they've done since then, but damn that was a black-eye for the Republican party in my eyes. [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
