"People must really hate those Washinton politicians!"
The 2016 elections will transform the political landscape.
Sanders? Agent of revolt? Yeah, the hard COMMUNIST revolt. Sanders should move to Cuba or Venezuela where he belongs.
Trump and the Tea Party as the Wreckers, Sanders and the Occutards as the Rebuilders, Mr Reich? It seems a little backwards. Perhaps you are doing a bit of projection on the sly, Mr Reich?
It was true in the days of the railroads and canal companies back in the early 19th Century. Heck, doing eminent domain deals for private companies is how Lincoln became a Senator.
Sanders has been a paid fulltime professional politician since 1981 - and in Congress since 1993. But he’s an outsider and not part of the ruling class. Lol.
Bernie is about as much of an outsider as Hillary.
I thought Trump articles at HP where in the entertainment section? LOL, HP has been Trumped!
Run, Hillaryous, run.
“What’s new is the degree of anger now focused on those who have had power over our economic and political system since the start of the 1980s.”
LOL. Huffington had to blame it on Reagan, even though there are some good points in the article.
What is laughable is that Kennedy, LBJ, Nixon and Carter did not represent the Ruling Class. LBJ and Nixon created the administrative tools for the ruling class to truly rule.
And yet another laugher.
“The Occupy movement, which also emerged from the Wall Street bailout, was intent on displacing the ruling class and rebuilding our political-economic system from the ground up.”
The Occupy movement was dedicated to keeping the existing structure of power centralization and government overreach but putting their guys in charge. They don’t understand—nor does Reich—that the overreach and centralization of power and money is itself, the problem. Give OWS power and they become the problem. Give R’s the power and they become the problem. Give Obama power and he becomes the problem.
Power corrupts. It even corrupts self-identified, sincere, moral, OWSer’s.
The Uniparty Ruling Class really does think the peasants are revolting.
Whistling in the wind past Bernies graveyard.
>>>What’s new is the degree of anger now focused on those who have had power over our economic and political system since the start of the 1980s<<<
Yes Robert, it’s all Ronald Reagans fault.
We see what you did there.
What a friggin Mini Maroon.
No, we've felt this way for a long time. It's just that nobody listens.

Occupy was a George Soros funded fraud... same with 'blacklivesmatter'... bought and paid for by white liberal elite George Soros.
And Bernie? The left just wants more stuff given to them that's been taken from others. It's 'dem- heavy' rather than the the usual 'dem-lite'...
