Bernie says "Wall Street" will pay for it.

Hey, Bernie, News Flash, "Wall Street" doesn't have it's OWN money.

Retirees trying to live above Social Security and fund their retirement by investing in stocks and bonds will get hit yet again.

You are going to hate this, but that is going to resonate with the vast majority of people in this country.

What Bernie actually said was that the American middle class bailed-out Wall Street in 2008, and it's time for them to return the favor. He is not factually wrong, and mostly you'll find heads nodding in agreement.

That is the REAL damage inflicted by the 2008 bailouts. It surrendered the moral high ground against telling anybody else they can't have one.
