Well at least you guys aren't trying to damage control for Venezuela or socialism and are instead trying to distance Bernie from all that nonsense. It shows that yall have hearts in the right place at the least. You keep insisting that people are shilling for Venezuela and I don't see that either.

People attribute a view on www.sanders.senate.gov to Bernie Sanders. That sounds pretty reasonable. The salience of that article was about race, job, investment, and wealth inequality. Don't you think the 7 preceding paragraphs carry more significance to the final 1? Venezuela failing means that there's no race or wealth gap in America? And Sanders still didn't even write it anyways, so don't know why people are linking literal proof that he didn't and are trying to use it as a gotcha. I will say that I was incorrect to say that it was a quote Bernie made. It was a view that was endorsed on his campaign page. I had seen it linked to his page a couple years ago, and didn't question the assertion that he said it himself. --- "I have never understood why it is greed to want to keep the money you have earned but not greed to want to take somebody else's money."
