2016 Postmortem
Showing Original Post only (View all)What specifically would Hillary do to address rising poverty and income inequality? [View all]
This so completely unacceptable. Especially since there has been a significant increase since 2006. Are some of us saying this is okay because it's not us? We cannot continue to starve children and look on while people die from a lack of healthcare and say this country is great. The only thing this country has been great at is protecting the wealthy and well connected at all cost. If you're going to say this is a Christian nation how the hell do you square this in your own mind?

"Not to be full of shit" is not a policy. And NOT WANTING to break up big banks is not helpful.
