About universal healthcare, free college & cancelling college loans, many ask how we can pay for it. We begin by repealing huge tax cuts to richest individuals & corps, plus absurd subsidies. $27B last year to fossil fuel companies?! Amazon made $100B & paid 0 in federal taxes?!

If you want to go toe-to-toe with Elizabeth Warren you will lose with both of you showing you don't understand how taxes work, how businesses work, and how the international economy works. You are not guaranteed a spot on the debate podium. This sort of post may keep you off it.

If only I knew how taxes work, businesses work & the international economy works. Since 12,000 people starve in the world each day, 1% of Americans own more wealth than the bottom 90%, & the planet itself is in peril, I am very eager to understand how to perpetuate that system.

You know- all you have to do is show an inch of sanity and you can bag this nomination. It鈥檚 INSANE to think that taxing the wealthy is even a start to that. Also, my loans are paid off. You cancel other people鈥檚, I鈥檓 suing. That鈥檚 my tax dollar the government is lending.

Nobody asks how we're paying for the #TrumpShutdown that according to @Forbes cost 11 billion dollars.

Rich pay for all your needs? What happens when the College raises rates again? Tell the rich to pay more? Why not actually solve the issue of cost of college. Make the college pay off they debt or charge less on a scale ?

Its a start but you must also address the root cause of all our problems. Break up all monopolies and oligopolies, reform patent/copyright laws, take big money out of politics, eliminate all forms of bribery or appearance of bribery. Remove the GOP.

Congress will never #CancelStudentDebt unless Americans organize a #StudentDebtBoycott and use our unpayable, immoral debt as leverage to crash the market for Student Loan Asset Backed Securities (SLABS). The capitalists will pay for student debt! Debtrevolution.org

Canceling student loans sounds nice but what about people who just paid theirs off? It just seems a little unfair...
