Legitimate candidates talking sense about important issues?

Good luck with that. It will be a big circle jerk with a bunch of candidates talking about who can expand government the most and who can nail the rich the most.
There is class warfare in this country and the rich are winning. There has been a massive transfer of wealth to the rich. Unless you are rich if it continues this way your children will be poorer for it. Why doesn't that concern you? Why so you insist on championing the cause of the elite? Who BTW are doing just fine without your help.
Seriously. I will never understand how the 1% managed to snow far less wealthy people into buying the bill of goods they're selling. Not referring to jon specifically here as I like him as a person/poster, but it seems to me that some sort of frenzied whipping up of an "us against them" fight against "others" sure helps those will never, ever benefit from Republican economic policies to sign up. Witness that cretin Sarah Palin.
Some people (including me) subscribe to a rising tide lifts all boats. That's not to say wealth inequality doesnt matter, I think its an important issue, but the super wealthy gaining doesn't mean the rest of us society can't/doesn't gain too.
I used to be able to understand the rising-tide view, but the disparity between the insanely rich and the regular folk (speaking economically) whom they need to support their increasingly voracious greed has grown to proportions that are absolutely preposterous. These days, it's more like the tide rises and only the mega-yachts get lifted.
I am looking forward to seeing what Hillary, Sanders, MOM, and Chafee say about income inequality, if anything. Biden, too, if he parachutes in. I don't give a damn what Webb has to say.
