Being responsible for your student loans is a burden.

Being responsible for every one elses student loans is slavery!

All true and Sanders is just recycling old bad ideas. The problem is the structure of the economy has changed for the worse. Much of it is globalist manipulation based on price advantage for off shoring manufacturing with the idea the stupid Americans will be happy to buy consumer junk using consumer credit while their economy is ruined. A city such as Kankakee Illinois is a great example. More than half its industrial base has gone and the city has been over run by welfare blacks from Crook County. The high school has gone from an excellent place to learn to a gang dominated sewer right out of Compton. The strip mining of the economy has led to a lot of the opioid and meth epidemic. Guys don't do well with nothing to do. If the leftist used this to stoke working and lower middle class rage they might get somewhere. Of course they are in Wall Street's pocket so not likely. More whining about muzzards and ‘sexual minorities’ instead.

Anyone who believes the accumulation of wealth is a zero sum game is a moron and hardly worthy of the time needed to explain it to them.

Stossel is absolutely right, for human beings wealth is NOT a zero sum game. The “piece of the pie” that someone has does not have to come from someone else. There is no limit to the size of the pie.

For animals, dependent on the resources of the natural world, wealth IS a zero sum game.

Unfortunately, human beings are also wired with tens of thousands of years of existence, telling them to fight over the last scrap of meat around the fire. This is based on animal existence.

In modern man, the animal wiring is the enabler of political causes like Socialism, Comunism and Unionism. Playing on those animal drives can work well, for some people.

I have dogs, and you can always see some percentage more worried about what the other dog has in his bowl than they are happy with their own.

Bernie and his followers think it's just fine for those who didn't attend college because they couldn't afford it and were smart enough to realize that going in debt to get a college degree wasn't worth the price to help pay the bills run up by those who did assume a huge debt to go to college.

Given the fact that a significant percentage of our society looks at the world that way, we're teetering on the edge of a major, and probably violent, change that will shock the crowd who think they can sell anything to the deplorable masses.

I like Townhall.com there are some pretty decent editorial writers there.

That being said, sometimes they tend to move one way or the other off into left field. Like me, I do that all that time. This article is a good example.

Bernie is bat-sh@t crazy and a danger to what remains of our tattered republic. Never the less, you have to look at the full scope of things as they are and to get so absorbed in politics that you lose track of your own personal reality and life.

The only problem I have with billionaires is when they use their wealth to push their personal ideology and agenda on the rest of us - e.g. Soros.

To liberals and socialists, life is a zero-sum game. In order for someone to get rich, someone else has to get poor.

It is the same as their position that cutting taxes reduces inflows to the government. Everything is static. Nothing is dynamic.

Friggin’ Morons, all!

A rising tide lifts ALL boats!!

Only a brain dead moron doesn’t get that.
