Wall Street, Not ISIS, is destroying the American Dream..

I will vote for Bernie or Hillary when it comes time to vote for President.  I think a Hillary and Bernie ticket would be great.

Donald Trump and his ilk are exploiting people’s frustrations and fear by blaming the boogeyman. ISIS is not depressing wages, immigrants are not taking away workers’ pension plans, Mexicans are not price gouging so medications are unaffordable, and African Americans are not raising the cost of a college education. It is Wall Street and the billionaire class that are causing millions of Americans to struggle to make ends meet, and only one candidate for President gets that.  

Bernie Sanders understands that Americans from across the political spectrum are angry. He understands that they have the right to be afraid of what the future holds. He often talks about the anger of the Tea Party, saying it is misdirected at scapegoats. Donald Trump, Ted Cruz, and even the so-called moderates are exploiting the justified anger that working class “Reagan Democrats” feel. Instead of blaming the billionaire class, who have rigged the system to take away their ability to get ahead and climb up the economic ladder, they are pitted against others like themselves who are seeking the American dream.

It’s always been this way. It used to be and still is the “negroes” who were taking away the jobs. Then it was the women: they had no business working jobs that should be going to men. Now it’s the immigrants. The other distraction is ISIS and Muslims – never mind that we meddled in their countries and caused way more death and destruction than they have caused here. Remember the Shah in Iran? We sold weapons to Iran within weeks of their holding Americans hostage. How about the weapons we gave Saddam in Iraq? We are not an innocent victim in the Middle East.

Of course ISIS is a problem that needs to be dealt with, but it doesn’t justify a war with Islam like Donald Trump right down to Jeb Bush want. Muslims are not closing factories and moving overseas for cheap labor. Muslims are not fighting to keep the minimum wage at $7.25 an hour. Muslims are not forcing seniors to choose between prescription drugs and food. Muslims are not forcing our young people to go into debt to get an education.

The moneyed class has rigged the system, and they are happy to have the blame directed at undeserving scapegoats. What Donald Trump is doing is un-American. It’s not patriotic. There is absolutely nothing anti-establishment about Donald Trump: he is the establishment, and he is blaming immigrants and Muslims for the oppressive tactics of his establishment. As long as the pitchforks are pointed at others, the establishment is happy.
