    Fund the welfare state for god’s sake.

    Not gonna happen; why do you think they sacked Bernie twice in the primaries?

      It will never happen if people just say “it’ll never happen” instead of joining the voices and being an advocate for that change!

          Older folks can certainly frustrate if given the wherewithal. I can be an old bastard marching my walker down the street and holding up traffic… but I think Bernie won’t be around then.

            Government officials better hope I am not able to retire. Between catching up on the video games I’ve missed out on I’ll be parking my ass at the court house with a protest sign. Give me unlimited free time, I dare you.

        Unfortunately, a small handful of voices with large pocketbooks are the only ones they listen to.
