America's 1% Has 50 TRILLION In Wealth - Maybe They Could Help Pay For Healthcare For Me

[DanieRains]

And for the rest of us. Ya think?

I will support a candidate who supports taxing the people who abused a crooked rigged system to amass fortunes at the expense of the powerless, and the planet.

Tax the rich. Make them less rich while the rest of us for once get a chance to keep from going bankrupt if we get sick.

They made their fortunes in a system built for great fortunes becoming greater, not for "regular people" to have any form of security if the happen to get sick. The fact that we allow this makes us pathetic.

If you have billions you can get proper treatment. If you don't good luck staying alive. It shouldn't be this way.

I will support a candidate who wants to right this wrong.

Any takers?

1. The fifty trillion dolar figure is just staggering. That's not quite every....

....dollar of value created by the U.S. economy in the last THREE YEARS! That everyone's labor, productivity, things we made, things we bought, value that we all created. Value that we added to this country. It's all owned by folks who, like our president, have added little of value to this country, but have instead benefited greatly because they have so distorted our economic system.

2. Thank you to whoever gave me the valentine heart. Just like last year, I can't....

....explain why it makes me feel so good, but it just does. I guess that that's the whole idea, isn't it?

3. That's a really good evaluation of the situation.

4. I believe that killing off those that can not afford healthcare was always part of their

original plan. Attempting to eliminate preexisting conditions is a good indication of where THEY are still headed. Meanwhile the wealth transfer grows even greater.

5. We are stuck as long as

money equals speech.
It's like all animals are equal, but pigs are more equal.

7. GOP always wants to go back to the magical 1950s..

I say lets start with 70% rate income tax on the highest incomes and restoring the estate tax...then we will have the money to fix bridges and roads and actually return to being the powerhouse we once were because we'd support education and research....
