allowed capitalism to morph into an uncontrolled vehicle for planetary degradation and misery. If they had exercised the least bit of self control we wouldn't be in this fucking mess.

What mess? Jeez, that's right. If you are upper income or an inheritance baby there ain't no mess, life is beautiful. You sure aren't worried about cutting food stamps or Social Security.

We need a degree of Socialism applied to these capitalist excesses. I believe the right amount of Socialism, judgment and reason resides in the goals of Bernie Sanders.

If we are going to continue to exploit and abuse the American people at least stop with this blatant goddamned race to the bottom in the form of these fucking trade deals like the TPP.
