Was Wall Street children or did they just act like them?

People are getting upset at me for pointing out that applies to most in both parties. Free money to Wall Street = good. Free money for an education = bad.

Granted, many that would understand that point refused to condemn the free money for Wall Street when it was their guy overseeing the Fed giving it away.

I think you are misinformed, people on the right are just as mad about the Wall Street bail out but did you notice not one went to jail. I agree with the Wall Street issue, it's just government taking from the people to give to their buddies and Democrats are no different only their supporters are blind to it.

But did you notice that when lefties attack wall street issues it's the every day hard working American people who are successful who are punished, not the uber rich. First, our educational system needs to teach the basics, the difference between the uber rich and middle class.

Also, Oregon has already taken the first steps towards providing free college. Let me know when the rest of America plans on following our lead.
Is that the 'Pay It Forward' program that your legislators have been mucking around with for 3 years and still haven't implemented and can't figure out how to pay for ? Besides, the program calls for repayment of some costs when graduates actually get jobs, which even if they get jobs, will be 'forgiven' by future legislatures.

Thanks, but no thanks.

It's not blind. It's political. Politics trumps their principles.

I don't see Sander's program as being that way. A tax on trades isn't going to affect the working class much. They aren't constantly trading.

Do engineers in Germany make minimum wage?

I'm sorry. I don't speak slogan. are you referring to bank bailouts? if you are, why don't you say so? banks should not have received a bailout. see, I was able to answer a question that you were unable to ask. that's how brilliant I am.
