All right, and where is the substance? Yes, there could be some. But where is it? Anybody seen it?

Democrats have also been losing on social justice issues while ignoring the actual economic concerns of the poor. Well, is "there shouldn't be billionaires" a social justice slogan, or is it going to actually help the poor in some way? I think it's more a social justice slogan.



Kind of a silly question when the candidate has an entire webpage with details of his plan:

Uh huh. And where on that is "no billionaires"? I looked but didn't see it.

So we're back at "slogan, with no substance".


I have no idea why you’re hung up on the slogan. You need substance to justify it?

That’s like saying you need substance to back up a slogan like “criminals shouldn’t break into my house.”

I think voters understand intuitively why billionaires shouldn’t exist.
