I've never been a fan of Bernie, for many reasons.
If he wants to give suggestions as to the direction of the party, JOIN the party.
He used it. Once the election was over he left, yet he's still bitching.
He's been in congress for many years & has little legislation to show for his time.
IMO, he's as nutty as Trump, on the flip side.

As for benevolent wealthy moguls, the Kochs' are not alone.
Warren Buffet, Bill & Melinda Gates, Mike Bloomberg also share the wealth. And good for all of them.

Years ago a friend said if they eliminate charitable deductions many poor will be the losers.
I challenged him, if his aim was to help, why would that stop him?
And if his only reason for 'giving' was based on the tax deduction, maybe he should look in the mirror & ask himself a tough question...

You ably represent a sad and loud contingent with the opposite of understanding how a civil and prosperous society is built and maintained.

Most of the wealth created by the Koch brothers and their kind benefits hundreds of millions in small increments that are not even generally recognized, let alone understood. The tiny bit that stuck to their fingers made them wealthier than most can imagine.

Their charitable efforts are dedicated to restoring the kind of society that enhances chances for happiness for the least churl amongst us -- even you. They are highly unionized and enjoy excellent labor relations thanks to the way they treat their people.

I disagree with some of their positions; sanctifying homosexuality and allowing the spread of Islam here doesn't strike me as wise.

Citing Sanders illustrates the depth of your moral cancer. His vision always delivers the opposite of what his evil kind promise.

Learning why seems beyond the infantile abilities of your kind.
