Fun with Twitter: Fellow socialists come to Bernie Sanders’ aid

Senator Bernie Sanders (I-Vermont), an an admitted socialist tweeted about unequal wealth distribution: a notion I find sinister.  The complaint rests on a presumption that wealth is distributed, and not earned.  It's almost as though Sanders and other like-minded socialists believe everyone is … [Read more...]
