That's gonna leave a mark, and maybe mark the start of lots of leaving.

at first he was going to increase the tax on all income levels and when she said on $250,000 and lots of statements about middle class being $250,000 and suddenly he changes his position and the comments went away.

What happen to college is a right not a privilege???

Maybe someone ran the numbers on the original proposal's price tag. Looks like Bernie can also 'evolve' when necessary. Too bad for the kids who were counting on that free tuition thingie, the rally call for many.

The free ponies are beginning to limp.
