This can’t continue indefinitely. How will it end? … Civil war in the States? 😦

Bernie evangelizes on the problem forcefully. And powerfully.

… “Today,” he said, “the wealthiest 400 individuals own more wealth than the bottom half of America – 150 million people. Today, the six heirs to the Wal-Mart fortune own more wealth than the bottom 30 percent. Today, the top one percent own 40 percent of all wealth, while the bottom sixty percent owns less than 2 percent. Incredibly, the bottom 40 percent of all Americans own just 0.3 percent of the wealth of the country.” …

PolitiFact checked those statistics. Their truth-o-meter finding his numbers true.

Bernard “Bernie” Sanders (born September 8, 1941) is the junior United States Senator from Vermont. …

He is the first person elected to the U.S. Senate to identify as a socialist. Sanders caucuses with the Democratic Party and is counted as a Democrat for the purposes of committee assignments, but because he does not belong to a formal political party, he appears as an independent on the ballot. …

I invite Bernie to move to Canada. We’re not perfect. But none of our financial institutions collapsed due to greed in 2008. I don’t know anyone in the Great White North underwater on their home.
