that I read that he was supporting Hillary. Same for Will Farrell but I read last week that HE was also supporting Bernie.

Blah! Well, it makes more sense that Leo would support Bernie with how he feels about the environment. Kudos!

given the politics of this country. But others maybe they just don't want to pay more in taxes.

I'm sure that's why the professional pundit class has been very negative on Bernie, because their taxes will go up.

they should have to pay more taxes so young people could go to school. That they were in their 60s or 70s now and didn't think it was right. But didn't many people get free college back in the 1960s (before people like Reagan ruined everything for the rest of us)? I thought "you selfish SOB".

Thank you for not being selfish!!!

I think a lot of the people who are really worried about paying more under Bernie would actually benefit quite a bit from his policies.

Anyway, I think many people are willing to pay more as long as they think the system is fair and the money is going to good use.
