I haven't heard the far left socialists agreeing to cut their pay so that the janitor can make a little more... but they are upset that other people's pay is not getting cut so the janitor can make a little more...

I wonder how many more Bernie Sanders threads are going to be started in the next couple of days?

there is only one self proclaimed socialist in the Senate or House, and his name is Bernie Sanders, and while he hasnt called to cut his pay check, you are arguing on different scales.

US senators make 174,000 a year. You cant put that on the same scale as the CEO of wal mart who took home 35 million not including stock, bonuses and other incentives.

Yeah, those tyrants who - for the benefit of hundreds of millions, even billions, of average people for many decades now - help produce and distribute food, electricity, motorized transport, refrigerators, fuel, medicines, telephones, air-conditioners, computers and on and on and on.

So you do actually produce, with your own hands, any and all of those things on your own, by yourself? Right. Did you ever even try growing your own tomatoes?

The real heroes of this world are people like Bill Gates and Steven Jobs, not self-serving charlatan politicians.

The politicians, not the bankers, bear the preponderance of the blame for the housing finance debacle in the mid-2000s which gave the US/global financial system a heart attack from which it has not, and will not, fully recover.

The only thing on that adolescent fantasy wish list I could support (and actually do with cash donations from time to time) is veteran care.

Of much greater concern is the tyranny of the majority, ask Uncle Joe.

Grow Up and Good Luck!

It still doesn't give them the right to buy our government, people like you will never learn.

Well, that can be a temporary or permanent status. Your choice.

Forget you, I work 60 hours a week, 40 at a desk job, and 20 at a job I love, sorry I don't fit into your pre conceived notions.
