His name being "Bernie" is probably not a coincidence.

Makes Lizzie Warren look like a money-grubbing capitalist pig.

Oh - she already is. My bad.

“wealth inequality” has been present in all human societies from the beginning of time

that is NOT the problem (indeed, its far less anyway in USA than many other countries)

the problem is the disasterous (almost non-existent) job market under Obama’s anti-USA, anti-business, anti-jobs policies..................plus the almost shut-down of so many lines of opportunity for people to start and succeed with small business ventures.

Pull off the yoke of Obama on the American economy and jobs.....and many “potential revolutionaries” will gladly be able to get back into the labor market (or business) again

Work hard all day, come home to a loving family, spend quality time with them, rest, do it again day in and day out...not much time for a civil war.

Right on Dr.Deth - that and a distorted sense of entitlement.

It’s not wealth inequality. It’s the greed of underachievers and the culturally worthless.

That’s the latest news from Lake your-dough-be-gone. Where all the taxpayers are broke and all the children are victims.

How about just educating yourself, quit living off the government dole and get a freaking job already.

Just let government control what everyone is allowed to own, huh? Sounds pretty simple—what could go wrong? Socialist revolutions have gone so well in other countries.

Since when does each person earning his own (different) wage per year lead to civil war? Wealth difference is the history of mankind since humans lived in caves. (Envy, stimulated by politicians, leads to class conflict. I will grant you that.)

There will be a civil war but it won’t be against the rich. The rich will be the spectators.

•Simplify the tax code. It presently has become a cat-and-mouse game and complicated to the point where wealth calls the final shots. - I agree, Get rid od the Income Tax.

•Several years ago, Wikipedia offered a list of tax haven-using Americans who were hiding money from taxation. The IRS owes all honest taxpayers an apology for a job not well done. And the ironic part meant to be serious: Too many Americans criticize people in poverty who can’t find work as unworthy citizens. - I agree, Get rid of the Income Tax and The I.R.S.

Because we’ve allowed a growing number of them (including illegals and visa jumpers) to get on the gravy train since at least LBJ and no one wants to tell them no. Now they’re almost the majority.

What ever happened to ‘earned success’?
(I know. You don’t have to tell me.)
Greed and envy must be Satan’s favorite sins. Next to vanity.
