I think we should come out and say it out loud "The Republicans don't care about you, they only care about the wellbeing of their economic masters." I think class warfare rhetoric is not being used when it can help the most.

Senator Sanders, I feel like you are one of the few elected officials remaining who legitimately care about the future well-being of all Americans. I can hear the passion in your voice - it's not cheap political rhetoric diluted into talking points; you're ensuring we remain prosperous. Hell, I would move to Vermont just so I could brag to my friends that you were my Senator.

SS is separate from the Federal Budget, thus not part of the deficit or national debt.

Sen Sanders is a true fighter, I wish we could clone all three of you guys. Social Security can be great! Expand and tweeked, Leave it for working people only, make a flat percentage withholding, no caps, this will make it stronger than ever. Republicans are out of touch on almost everything that the middle class want and need, ever since Reagan.
