The point is that these rich guys are volunteering to pay more taxes.... Human101948 Jan 2016 #53

So are the wealthy people who support Hillary, since she is proposing to raise taxes on the wealthy. DanTex Jan 2016 #65

Soros is a hedge fund person. DanTex Jan 2016 #80

I'll put you down for "no evidence". Not surprising. DanTex Jan 2016 #84

Well, there are a lot of differences. DanTex Jan 2016 #118

you are gonna need a ladder to get out of that rabbit hole questionseverything Jan 2016 #129

There's also the difference that Ben and Jerry have never screwed over workers or entire countries Ken Burch Jan 2016 #131

It's funny that you call Dimon Hillary's "bff." Just another example of how detached Bernie DanTex Jan 2016 #134

And did so out of pure goodness. Ken Burch Jan 2016 #138

Of course, because supporting Bernie is an act of "pure goodness." DanTex Jan 2016 #139

It's different if you support a candidate who backs the people instead of the rich. Ken Burch Jan 2016 #117

You're talking about the GOP. Both Hillary and Bernie back the people. DanTex Jan 2016 #119

Just pointing out hypocrisy. DanTex Jan 2016 #123

There is no hypocrisy. Ken Burch Jan 2016 #125

Of course there is. Rich people who don't back Bernie get bashed, rich people who back Bernie DanTex Jan 2016 #132
