“Today, the largest six financial institutions in this country have assets of some $10 trillion, equivalent to 60 percent of the GDP of America,” the senator from Vermont told a crowd of 11,000. “After we bailed them out, because they were ‘too big to fail,’ most of them are now a lot bigger than they were before.” - - Bernie Sanders.

I'm glad to hear someone who's not an Occupy Wall Street activist acknowledge this dangerous situation.

Dangerous for whom? Certainly not the 1% who control the government.

I don't care how sharp his creases they could never outweigh Trump's hair.

Quizes are sometimes fun.

Take the quiz, tell the computer what you think of the issues, and then let it tell you who matches your positions most closely.

Share your results, if you want.

Based on my understanding of the candidates, I like Bernie Sanders the best, but the computer said:

When it comes down to it, does it really matter who is president? I think it is the corporations that control the Speaker of the House are the ones that control the nation. The party and constituents seem to have no influence over the speaker.

Maybe .... maybe deep down, we all side with Sanders* eventually.














* though given a choice I'd probably opt for Colonel Sanders, 'cause chicken.
