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"

Republicans in February 2014 blocked important legislation from Sen. Bernie Sanders to improve veterans’ access to health care
Rubio in this video explains how he and fellow republicans feel about taking care of our Veterans. It’s too expensive. Trillions for war no problem. Billions to take care of those that served in those wars in just not worth it to them. Besides, it doesn’t fund their campaign contributers in war business. If you care about our Veterans then watch this.
SEN. SANDERS GOES OFF ON BERNANKE_ 03/03/09
Great Exchange! Senator Bernie Sanders can’t contain himself during today’s (03/03/09) Senate Budget Commitee hearing in Washington. Bad Boy Bernie demands to know who got the 2.2 trillion of dollars in loans from the Fed. Bernanke won’t tell him. He’s also angry that banks that get tax payer funds for nothing, are charging credit card customers 25% interest. Also discusses A.I.G. and who got those credit Defautl swaps. He also demands to know why Bernanke didn’t raise the alarm when the Bush Administration was claiming the economy was sound when it obviously wasn’t.
