The problem isn’t that people can create wealth; the problem is that not ENOUGH people can create wealth now due to economic circumstances that keep them limited to survival mode. An honorable person doesn’t want to create wealth at the expense of other people having a chance to.

When a wealthy person gets a tax cut at the expense of a poor person’s child getting good food or a proper education, that’s not healthy capitalism or healthy governance. It’s time to stop the trickle-down economic canard that has damaged so many people & corroded our democracy.

Yep. I started out homeless and forgotten, before age 18. Had no chance. Still struggling... There needs to be some kind of safety net, for those at the bottom.

We don't reward honesty, we reward greed.

Bernie needs to make the case that our policies will be a massive economic stimulus that helps all businesses and even the wealthy do better. Continuing on our current course will be disastrous for the very wealthy because the system will collapse.

What gets me is that over 9 million people die from famine globally every year and no coverage no global response but #COVID19 comes along with 3800 deaths and no cost is to high, global effort, and around the clock media coverage.

Capatalism is actually inherently lazy and not an engine of ingenuity. Many people that could work on solving many global problems are creating dick pills,pardon my language, and solving baldness. Because it's cheaper and easier to do these and make lots of money.
