[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Bernie Sanders tax strategy makes total sense. Tax the uberwealthy and big corporations that have been sucking America dry for decades. Let them invest in their workers and consumers. Do it, Bernie.[/quote]

He can't do it because there's a little thing called Congress standing in the way. [/quote]

+1. These things are nice ideas, but there's no realistic chance of getting them passed the way Sanders has proposed. Someone previous criticized Clinton essentially for proposing change that is too incremental (e.g., improving the health care system we have rather than implementing a universal health care system), but the reality is the Dems best chance of getting things done in the next 4-8 years if they win the presidency. I'll take someone who understands political reality any day. For years under W. the Democrats "thought big" and took big, principled stands on things, and the Republicans out-smarted them every step because the Republicans were pragmatic. Now that the Democrats have become more pragmatic as well, they've had better results .[/quote]

Absolutely, I agree. It's so easy for Bernie to say these things, but, there is absolutely no way he can get ANY of it done. Even HRC will have a hard time getting things accomplished bc Congress is so vitriolic. Somehow Bernie, a "socialist" will be able to pass his legislation? The idea is ridiculous. Anyhow, he is get creamed in a general election if he does become the nominee. I am surprised how many supporters he has on DCUM. [/quote]

Polling shows the opposite, that he will "cream" many GOP opponents if he were the Dem nominee.  Also, as for Congress, we need to see Congress for its vitriol and obstructionism, expose it and show the American people that they are voting assholes into office.  That needs to end.  We need Congress to be representative of the people, not the banks, the oil companies, the gun lobbies and other special interests who are all derailing this nation.[/quote]
