Sorry - I'm just not buying into these elaborately constructed conspiracies which make no sense to any logical thinking with many individual points having been adequately shown to be figments of creative imaginations over and over again. Do you really want another thousand post rebuttal on repetitive arguments? It's not something I want to rehash yet again. I'm much more interested in where we go from here.
We need to find a way to deal with all of us. In a world of limited available resources there is still plenty to around though it may mean some have to give some to spread the basics and not relying on arbitrary standards to leave people in the dust.

Our basic difference seems to be that I understand that there will never be perfect fairness. And I think America needs to worry about Americans, first. Our economy has crashed. In shipping jobs offshore to support other nations, we now have the lowest rate of employment in decades.. And the rate of "underemployment" is stunning. Part-time jobs...jobs not commensurate with ability and education... The highest number of food stamp recipients in history. Kennedy put a man on the moon. Obama has put a man in the ladies room.

Donald Trump and Bernie Sanders aren't political pals. But they agree on one key issue: they think the U.S. government's jobs numbers are a crock.
America's official unemployment rate is a pretty healthy 5.3%. Ignore that, Trump and Sanders say.
Sanders told a huge crowd at his recent rally in Portland, Oregon that "real unemployment" in America is over 10%.
Trump, never one to be outdone, has been saying real unemployment is "anywhere from 18 to 20%." He calls the official statistic "full of nonsense."
