“I’m not calling for a ‘redistribution.’ I’m calling for the rich to pay their taxes. I’m calling for a rebalancing of our social safety net. I’m calling for a return to a time when America made bigger investments in the general welfare. I’m calling for more poor aid and less rich aid.”

i have the economic acumen of approximately a potato yet somehow this dude is making it make sense. what i’m saying is, i think i understand and i’m deeply disturbed.

“But I can’t get over the fact that each year, over $1 billion in Social Security funds are spent not on getting people disability, but on getting people lawyers so that they can get disability.”

Fucking facts, people.
