Frustrated Farmer [Report this comment] Posted by: Frustrated Farmer on Aug 16, 2008 4:29 AM Current rating: 5 [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] Bernie Sanders is definitely a different breed of Congressman. He was Vermont's first socialist mayor. Now he's an independent.

We need many more like you in Congress. It may be too late but it's high time we get government to represent us and not big money. It's so sad to see how degraded our country has become. How can we be proud of this country when we see such injustice at every turn? Don't be fooled by big money's false promises of "national security" at our expense. The playing field is NOT even when it comes to fair distribution of wealth, and every middle class American should be outraged at the dwindling power we possess as voters. Before we lose again, vote for a democrat at every election. At least there's a better chance with democrats in power that the middle class won't be lost for good.

[Report this comment] Posted by: RON_KING on Aug 16, 2008 6:43 PM Current rating: Not yet rated [1 = poor; 5 = excellent] When the figure of 90% of the populace was given, it was translated into 30,000,000 people, with the assumption that there are 300,000,000 people residing in the US. 90% of 300M people is 270M, not 30M. Someone should have checked the math on the graphics. [« Reply to this comment] [Post a new comment »] [Rate this comment: 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 - 5] » RE: Corrected slight correction...
