Tax the rich? We would probably see none of it, because it would go down the drain like the rest of our economy.

You got nothing to lose, I'm Australian and I've taken huge interest in Bernie's campaign, political process down here is a mess, politicians spend more time slamming each other than getting things done. I gave up on the political process but I have never been as inspired by any politician other than Bernie. I look at America and a lot of things make me sad, the corruption, gun violence, highest incarceration in the world per capita disproportionately among blacks and Hispanics, corporate influence over government, the poverty, I could go on and on about this. People like the kochs, NRA, Bank of America, Wall Street, all make me sick with their money and influence over government. But Bernie, he knows what's up, he knows what the problems are, he knows why people have given up on the political process, he is what politics should be about, no negative ads, service to the people, healthcare for all. Of course things he's proposing definitely aren't gonna happen over night but it can happen, thing is people need to step up, take back control of their democracy, that's what Bernies campaign is about. I know I'm Australian and you may think America is none of my business or whatever but I say all this because I care, I want to see America get better, I want to see it prosper, it definitely has the power to make it all happen, and don't listen to anyone like Fox News tell you otherwise, there was a point in time where you could call America the greatest country on earth, laws were made for moral reasons, you could disagree and still get things done, now it saddens me to see the state of things now, but in time it can be again, and I believe Bernie has the potential to make that happen, but if you want things to be better you need to want to change things, you can't want things to be better and not want anything to change, I really urge Americans to not waste this opportunity, I really don't think they'll be anyone like Bernie in a long time otherwise.
