1/ Imagine if we had a presidential candidate saying “Yep it’s true. We’re going to give you free healthcare. We’re going to pass a Green New Deal. We’re going to make college tuition free for everyone. We’re going to cancel all your college loans.”

2/ And when people asked “But how are we going to pay for all that?” the candidate would say “By taxing the segment of people whose tax cuts and corporate subsidies have amounted to the biggest transfer of wealth in our history over the last 40 years.”

I'd vote for that candidate in a heartbeat
Replying to @marwilliamson
Hahahaha no American candidate would say that. Or at least no candidate that they'll allow to get that far...
Replying to @marwilliamson
will you run for Congress again? Please.
Replying to @marwilliamson
In a minute. None of those things are good for the country
Replying to @marwilliamson
When they will deserve it, they won’t turn it down, indeed.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I agree with ya, Marianne. Wouldn't be nice to have such a candidate? This whole situation is so messed up.
Replying to @marwilliamson
I'm sure they wouldn't turn it down. More likely, after they voted for it, they wouldn't get it

Socialism is great until you run out of other peoples money.
