Too big to fail is a euphemism for too big to stop us from doing anything we like. That's exactly why we have laws against monopolists in this country.
On a side note, Oxfam, the charity NGO, does a study every year of how many of the world's richest people collectively have the same wealth as the poorest half of the planet.
In 2000, that number was 110. In 2014, it was 82. Last year it was 62. This stark calculation of wealth and income inequality should make it clear that billionaires aren't job creators; they're parasites, who exist on the unsung and certainly underpaid toil of thousands... while benefiting from preferential tax rules they paid off politicians to pass that ensure their wealth continues to grow, even at the expense of others.

Right. Half a planetful of slackers. I'm sure that plays real well to the base at campaign fundraising dinners, the ones that go for $100k a plate to keep out the riff raff...

Are you even paying attention to what I'm saying ?
RIGHT NOW I'M NOT OBLIGATED TO PAY FOR ANY OF MY EMPLOYEES INSURANCE.
NEVER SAID I DID NOT KNOW.
I THINK YOU ARE HAVING A HARD TIME COMPREHENDING, UNDER BERNIE PLAN, I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 6.2 OF ANNUAL PAY ROLL.

Many here have employees. The system is still broken.
The fix isn't painless. Employees can't afford insurance - because the system is broken.
The real problem isn't the 6% - it's the organized medical mafia that is stronger in the US than anywhere else. They are protected is why.

ok I think you are going full retard on me.
If you don't know what type of businesses I run only shows that you never paid attention to our conversation or Bernie has your mind so blind...its stupid.
I just hope that if Bernie does not get the nod, people like yourself still take the time and vote

People need access to quality health care. Everyone. This is what most people in the US say, and clearly what other western nations believe. So some shits gonna hafta change.
I'm one of the businesses that will be affected but I understand the system is unfair. I pay living wages. Fuck minimum wage

and Bernie will change health insurance how. By attempting to throw out what we have and start by taxing the employee and employer. Are we sure we want to have another healthcare debate? I think the question needs to be asked "why is healthcare so damn expensive in America

@schuylaar so if Bernie does not get the nod, who will you vote for in the general election ?

I'm comfortable with the direction the conversation is going; people need to be dragged into the nuts and bolts to understand just how badly they're bring screwed by Big Medicine.

I agree. Part of the reason I'm glad Bernie is in the race. Now we can at least hear a conversation. Now we just need to get to the nitty gritty and ask ourselves why is healthcare so expensive in the U.S.

I'm glad Bernie is in the race so people can hear what an actual liberal sounds like. No one should be left to assume that what comes from Mrs Clinton's mouth is anything but more conservative drivel, only served up with slightly more 'we're trying!'
I'm sorry, mending the hem won't work when the seat is worn through the trousers.
