Railing on rich folks isn't winning strategy

[evertonfc]

It has its place but it's a losing strategy. Always has been. You would be surprised how many people admire some rich folks- especially those who earned it. Sanders sounds like a broken record at times. Let's be honest. Sanders is rich. He made his fortune without ever really working for a living. He made his as a career politician via the tax payer. Now, Joe did too but Joe is talking about reasonable policy issues that are feasible given the make up of Congress and beating Trump. He isn't solely running agianst the class he and Sanders are part of. Not all wealthy people are bad. I'm seeing it first hand here in Nashvile. Sanders makes valid points about money and its control on DC but it's a losing damn message in an election.

19. Only DELEGATES get to vote at the Democratic convention. Bernie doesn't have enough.

And, he won't have enough. He will continue to fall further and further behind as the voters let us know in no uncertain terms that they REJECT Socialism.

It's time to get on board the Biden Train. Say hello to our party's next DEMOCRATIC NOMINEE for President!





Joe/Kamala or Biden/Harris 2020!!

14. I admire the billionaires. It is not an easy feat to be a self-made billionaire.

Tired of politicians railing against them and demonizing them for votes.

2. What? This was actually posted in a forum for Democrats? Amazing how far right the party has moved.

10. Nothing that Bernie nor Liz said about the wealthy was wrong

Had a friend that is an accountant for multi-millionaires tell me that if you are making $500k a year or more and are paying taxes, that you better find a new account manager.
I do t know all of the specifics because I am not close to qualifying.
And any wealthy person that claims unfairness of the system is lying too. The scales are tipped in your favor.

15. I agree with your post. It's the OP's support for the rich which has me scratching my head.

6. I'm a Biden supporter but this post doesn't help at all.

I actually like a lot that Bernie has to say. His message is something that all Democrats support. It’s how to get there where we disagree.

[Faux pas]

7. How about

railing against the rich who don't pay taxes? The rich who are rich because they keep all their money?

[Hoyt]

8. Ironic that "progressive" candidates' promises depend on bunch of mil/billionaires for funding.

Definitely agree with limiting wealth's influence on government.

9. I like lots of people I consider rich.

Most rich people are not the enemy.

I find most of them are very apolitical. Head in the sand maybe, letting Repukes do the work and reap the benefits.

But I didn’t find most of my employers as devils. The ones that were, were. But not the majority.

Mostly uncaring about anyone outside their circle. But not hateful.

11. Explain your definition of "working"

Are Military contractors who are billionaires excluded because their income is derived from tax payers?

[wellst0nev0ter]

12. Weird, given how Trump railed against the "elite"

And oligarchs always need their useful idiots.

13. Americans are by nature optimistic and dreamers

In the civil war, only 3% of the Whites owned slaves - but nearly 90% of Whites fought for the South.

Why? Because those who didn't own slaves hoped to own them some day.

Same way, there are very few people who are billionaires. However, Americans, by and large, admire them and most want to be one of them some day.

Attacking billionaires thus goes against the fabric of American optimism, dreaming and enterprising.

16. Sanders used to rail against millionaires and billionaires.

Now it's just billionaires since he's now a millionaire
