Bernie Sanders getting into the 2020 race for President is a great thing for America

His top policy goals — Medicare for All, free public college (families with income of $125,000 or less) and a $15 per hour minimum wage, big estate tax

He has the gravitas, political apparatus and name recognition to highlight the biggest threat to this country, which in my opinion is the growing income inequality in the U.S.A.

INCOME INEQUALITY IS THE SINGLE BIGGEST THREAT TO THIS COUNTRY

The top 1% of this country owns greater than 40% of country's wealth and that is growing.

The top 1% of this country has more wealth than the bottom 90% combined.

That level of inequality is more than preceded the French Revolution (The top 3% owned 35% of the land) 

The richest 10% of Americans now own 85% of the stock market.

WILL TAKE THE DISCUSSION TO THE MASSES OF REAL POPULISM VERSUS. FAKE POPULISM 

Ridiculousness of this tax cut: Share Buybacks, carried interest loophole, estate tax: Resulted in Companies buying back stock, or buying other companies and then firing people.

Minimum wage, corporate money in elections

WILL FORCE THE REST OF THE DEMOCRATIC FIELD TO MOVE TO THE LEFT OR THE RIGHT OF HIM

How pay for it?   We could do it by raising the ridiculously low corporate tax rate back to 28% which is still a lot below the 35% it was pre-tax cut.  Maybe if we really are pulling out of every war zone, we don't need to spend $700 B on defense each year.

If healthcare improves because everyone has access to insurance, perhaps mortality rates improve and we can raise the social security age.

Or we can do what all my friends who claimed they were fiscal conservatives did and simply pile on more debt.
