Ron Paul noted similarities between his views and those of Bernie Sanders.

“We’re both against corporatism. We’re both against the special benefits to big business,” Paul said in an interview on Politicking with Larry King.

“His answer to that wouldn’t always be the same. Mine would always drift to the free markets. His would drift to ‘well we need more government to redistribute wealth,’ but we could both attack subsidies to business or the military industrial complex,” he continued. “In that sense, there is a kinship.”

    If only Ron Paul could see that free markets are just way to open to corruption and backroom deals that end up hurting the masses, I think he might be ok. There absolutely has to be some oversight and regulation of the markets to keep people from cheating and hurting the masses.

    Birds of the same flock. It makes sense. Bernie has always been just an interloper in the Democratic Party.

      Apparently that is all the progressives have ever been to the democrats, interlopers. I guess it is time we should quit voting for the democrats if that is how they feel about progressives. It would be stupid for progressives to support a party that doesn’t want to include us.

        Are you talking about the progressive Democrats?
        the left of center Democrats or the blue dogs?

          Who ever is progressive. The democratic party has been moving to the right away from progressives for a long time. They think they can rule from the middle. Problem with that is, if you don’t have a good candidate, you get attacked from both sides and lose.

            They think they can rule from the middle because that is where the majority of the public is and that is the best you can get when at any given time at least 45% -50% of the people oppose your policies, right OR left.
            And no matter how good your candidate, they get attacked from both sides Obama is proof of that.

    How did the wealth get redistributed to the most wealthy,

    hmm could it be through legislation / government ?

    • oldfart May 22nd, 2016 at 09:26

      And the wealthy continue to keep it that way.
