When I see a 10%er endorse Hillary by asking where is Bernie's plan, I know they really just

don't want their taxes raised.

Shameful.

No matter how much I respect their art, I don't care who they support.
It is their right to vote and campaign how they wish. That is the American way.

Or they have faith in the course we are on, that we can somehow turn this thing around while doing exactly what we've always done. I don't get it but, okay.

It's all on his website. Don't they have their people check up on these things?

The thing that gets me is that while trickle down economics doesn't work, "trickle up" economics does. When people at the bottom of the pyramid have more money, they SPEND IT. They put it back into the economy. They buy cars and houses and big screen TVs. The eat out at restaraunts and go on vacations. They save money for emergencies and retirement (good for banks & Wall Street). They pay more taxes and require less government benefits to survive.

As some wise person said, we all do better when we ALL do better.
