In reply to the discussion: David Hogg calls out Bernie [View all]EffieBlack
(14,249 posts)33. I'm tired of ""Mom and Pop" being used as an excuse for shielding big business
We hear the same crap about the inheritance tax, farm subsidies, low minimum wages, tax cuts and other policies intended to protect or provide windfalls to corporate interests - we always get small business thrown up as the cover when, in reality, its not small businesses that benefit but huge cioprporate interests,
Bernies excuse for this is pure bullshit right out of the Republican playbook.
