a few recent quotes from Bernie Sanders:

"The government that we have today in the White House, the House of Representatives with Tom Delay, the Senate with Bill Frist, is the most right-wing, extremist government, perhaps in the history of the United States ... Time after time they pass legislation that benefits the rich and the powerful, and they pass legislation that hurts the middle class, working people and low income people."

"I want government to stand up for working people, for the middle class, rather than representing, as is currently the case in the United States, multinational corporations and wealthy people."

"I also believe that as citizens in a democratic society people are entitled to certain inherent rights — and those rights include the right to health care, the right to form a union, the right to breathe good air, the right to send your child to college.

"There is something fundamentally wrong and very dangerous about a society in which so few have so much and so many have so little"

1. Yes, indeed...

... that great, hoary, evil enemy of America, Franklin Roosevelt, described the rich as "the great malefactors of wealth."

The wealthy have never forgotten, and have hated him for saying the obvious. They've even gotten many Democrats to agree with them.... *sigh*
