We don't need a moderate president. We need a moderate
distribution of wealth.
And for that, we need radical changes.
We need full employment and fair taxation (i.e. more taxes on the upper income people and less on the lower income people).
We need laws to prohibit American companies from registering in other countries in order to avoid paying U.S. taxes and laws that incentivize U.S. companies to make their goods in America .
We need a restructuring of the banking system (break up the too-big-to-fail banks) and laws that will limit the plundering of companies by their top management (e.g. not allowing fat cats to sit on each other's boards and give each other multi-million-dollar salaries and bonuses).
We need to prosecute business people and bankers who break our laws.
We need to reduce drastically the role of money in the election process.
We need to change the U.S. from a raging war machine, both domestically (read: Ferguson ) and globally, to a beacon of peace (which we were at one time, I think).
And of course we need to work on the problem of racism in America .
For these radical changes, we need a radical leader.
Hillary Clinton? Ha.
She and her husband are part of the problem.
Anyone in the Republican party? Ha. Ha.
There are two politicians that I trust instinctively. One is Elisabeth Warren. The other is Bernie Sanders. But I also thought Barack Obama would bring about some radical change, and that didn't happen.
Is there something that changes the man (or woman) when he or she comes into office? George Carlin joked that as soon as a new president is inaugurated, he is immediately taken to the Oval Office and shown film never seen before of the Kennedy assassination.
Hope and change? Ha. Ha. Ha.
