New research findings from a team of progressive economists provides documentary evidence that the financial footing for Sen. Bernie Sanders visionary social change agenda is not only plausible, but would create far more socially productive jobs, as well as moving us down the road to the more humane society that is at the heart of the Sanders campaign.

In their push to vilify Sanders, Democratic Party acolytes from the media to academia have fallen in line attacking the economic foundations of his campaign for free public college tuition, Medicare for all, job creation through infrastructure repair, and other critical needs.

But a new report from the University of Massachusetts Amherst Political Economy Research Institute documents how a key Sanders proposal — a tax on Wall Street speculation -would bring at least $300 billion a year in new revenues from those who can most afford to pay it for the critical reforms the country so desperately needs.

1. All well and good but Clinton's plan will increase the profits for the wealthy

and they will trickle it down on us.

[lagomorph777]

2. and since when do numbers matter?

The Dem powers that be have spoken, and annoyances such as numbers and facts will not cloud their vision:

A shining city on the hill, where the top 1% control both parties and all branches of government.

[rhett o rick]

4. And as can see here some people charish the idea of a tough authoritarian leader

taking good care of them. It's too much trouble to fight for your rights and liberties. And in a country trying to be democratic, I can get that, but the consequences are hardest on those among us that are struggling. I find that immoral.

Revere whomever you wish but remember the Wealthy 1% has no empathy for the 16,000,000 children living in poverty. Choose to back the Clinton Aristocracy and you will be turning your backs on those without health care and living in poverty.

15. Turning your back on those without healthcare?

The Sanders supporters here who are refusing to help in the general must be OK with Republicans coming in and taking away health care from 20 million people on the first day. That's turning your back. Hillary has been working for decades to get health care to more people. That's not 1%.

16. Hillary is working for Hillary and always has been. She will not support single payer and that

says enough. She wants to cut Big Pharma and Big Insurance, in so she can get a cut.

Sanders supporters are refusing to be bullied into voting for Clinton and the Wealthy 1%.

And we can say the same about Clinton supporters that don't seem to recognize that Sanders has a much better chance of defeating Trump than Clinton. Stick with Clinton and get Trump. The hubris of the corrupt Democratic Party elite will be the downfall of themselves and the nation. Frack the corrupt DNC, Dino Debbie and other Party leaders in the pocket of Goldman-Sachs.

3. oh yea, I forgot

[rhett o rick]

5. Have you been trickled on today?

[Ferd Berfel]

6. daily

I like to do some trickling of my own though

[rhett o rick]

7. I am alerting on you because that is clearly sexist. Why is it always a man?

But since I really like you Basset Hound pissing on the Blue Dog, I will let the sexism slide. The three dog picture is so PC that I can't even begin to handle it.

[Ferd Berfel]

8. If I could draw I'd fix it for you

But it was mostly men who brought us the delusion of trickle down.


THird Way = 3 Dog Night?

[rhett o rick]

9. Now you are really asking for it. Doubling down on the sexism. I am sure Margaret Thatcher

(admired by Clinton) supported Reagan's trickle down. Eeeew!

[Ferd Berfel]

11. Wait Thatcher was in to

The golden shower?

[rhett o rick]

12. This has gone wayyy to far. As I said eeeeew

[Ferd Berfel]

13. Ok - done

[rhett o rick]

14. .
