2016 Postmortem
In reply to the discussion: There's a reason millions of voters are aligning with Sanders. [View all]snowy owl
(2,145 posts)some people about lack of jobs
others about income disparity
some about minimum wages
others about higher ed expenses
even others might despair about healthcare costs
some others it is deregulation and environment
occasionally smart people worry about government regulators who no longer enforce regulations
of course, many of us worry about climate change and our kids and grandkids
and a few, like me, would say it is all of the above
When we had a 90% tax rate, there was no chance of an oligarchy or plutocracy. Now we have one. I liked the middle class.
Where are our Francis Perkins? Henry Wallaces? Much less FDRs? Read about Henry Wallace and you'll see what we could have been.

It was the business class(called Koch Brothers today) that reset the path of FDR. History is a wonderful teacher.
Anything else?
