(14,566 posts)I did post it fresh. It really is what Bernie and his message mean to me. The thing that blew me away about Bernie, besides single payer, strengthening Social Security and all that, is that he is the ONLY politician I've heard EVER talking about taxing the $32 trillion in profits that are sitting offshore in places like the Cayman Islands. That's not OK - it takes money to run a government at all levels, and to have all that money just taken off the table is disastrous. Tax those untaxed profits and make sure these corporations continue to pay their fair share of taxes going forward, and we might actually have enough money to fight forest fires, for the CDC, for the infrastructure.
Anyway, I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but thanks for the thought!
