So the right wing nuts don’t like him because he is talking about raising a tax, and the left wing nuts don’t like him because he is acknowledging there is a problem. Hmmm, sounds like he is speaking from somewhere in the middle. And that may be the final nail in his coffin? You people are fun to watch.

welfare, the great society, universal health care, Medicare and Medicaid, affirmative action.
This is not new and they will protect it till they die.

The thing is that socialism gets votes if framed correctly.

Just read this piece I wrote recently.

I’m not surprised. The overall goal for the dems at this point is a rebirth of higher taxes. Not just for the “social security” issue. In which at this point the dems will make promises on every different issue for those extra middle of the roader votes.

I’m curious to see where Hillary stands on this. Is she for it and against it?
