4. This would cost corporate America big time. At the same time it is exactly what we need.

Corporate America quite literally needs to be slapped down for their abuse of their employees and the American consumer. (Rightie response, "What for, for creating millions of jobs?&quot Of course the Righties® would ignore the way corporations have abused their charter.

Wall Street in particular has behaved abominably but waltzed away with nothing but relatively small fines and minor changes in the law.

Single payer health care would remove billions of dollars of profit from parasitic health care profiteers. This would have a profound effect on the economy. Obviously any attempt to create a true government run health care system as opposed to the ACA would be met with massive organized protests and temper tantrums manufactured by the wealthy pirates. This is a monumental task.

I think Bernie is there.
