Thomas Paine's version of "you didn't build that":
"Separate an individual from society,and give him an island or a continent to possess,and he cannot acquire personal property. He cannot be rich. So inseparably are the means connected with the end,in all cases,that where the former do not exist the latter cannot be obtained. All accumulation, therefore,of personal property,beyond what a man's own hands produce, is derived to him by living in society; and he owes on every principle of justice,of gratitude,and of civilization,a part of that accumulation back again to society from whence the whole came"

In 2011, Sen. Bernie Sanders stood before Congress and predicted that the so-called “free trade agreement” with the small nation of Panama would lead to an explosion of tax evasion there. The recent #Panamaleaks proved he was exactly right, unfortunately.
Imagine how many of these disgraceful and disgusting acts would have been avoided and how much better off this country would be today if the members of congress had the integrity, wisdom and foresight to vote like Sen. Sanders has over the past few decades. Bernie Sanders, Elizabeth Warren, and a few other members of congress have integrity and moral values. They haven’t given in to the big money special interests because they were elected by and represent the people. The rest should be dumped out of their cushy, taxpayer funded offices and replaced as soon as possible.
The Trade Agreement was strongly supported by Hillary Clinton FIVE YEARS AGO! (See Below)

You are invited to watch and listen to her lies.
Following congressional approval of the U.S.-Korea, U.S.-Colombia, and U.S.-Panama trade agreements, Secretary Clinton released a statement:
“The Free Trade Agreements passed by Congress tonight will make it easier for American companies to sell their products to South Korea, Colombia and Panama, which will create jobs here at home. The Obama Administration is constantly working to deepen our economic engagement throughout the world and these agreements are an example of that commitment.
“The stakes are not just economic. South Korea, Colombia and Panama are three important partners in strategically vital regions. With the passage of these agreements, America has delivered for our friends and allies. I want to thank Presidents Lee, Santos and Martinelli for their patience and willingness to partner with the Obama Administration as these agreements moved through Congress.
“But our work is not yet done. We will not be content until these agreements are fully implemented so that American exporters can reap the benefits as soon as possible.”

Final thought: Maybe Hillary and Bill Clinton have millions of dollars stashed away in the basement of Panama’s President Juan Carlos Varela basement!
