Ummmm...guaranteed MBS and US Treasuries aren't toxic.
Exchanging them for cash isn't theft.

"The Financial Services Modernization Act of 1999 (Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act) allowed banks to use deposits to invest in derivatives.5 Bank lobbyists said they needed this change to compete with foreign firms.

"They promised to only invest in low-risk securities to protect their customers.6 As banks chased the profitable derivative market, they didn't keep this promise."

Sounds horrible!!

Which banks failed because of derivatives?

Which banks failed because of mortgages?

And how does your post refute my claim "guaranteed MBS and US Treasuries aren't toxic"?
 
No. I'm looking for an answer. For the truth. From you. For once.
Do you mean the truth about our disappearing middle class?

Bernie Sanders on Economic Inequality

"The main goal of Bernie Sanders’ decades-long career in politics has been to address the root causes of economic inequality because, as he has stated, 'The middle class of this country, over the last forty years, has been disappearing.'"

The main goal of Bernie Sanders’ decades-long career in politics

What is good old selfless Bernie's networth now?
A lot less than most life long pols and his policies are far better than most. Unfortunately he’s weak and tied to the D Party.

You and your bogus free market capitalism can kiss my ass.

Bernie has invested much of his political capital with Democrats.

Delaware Joe was on the ropes in 2020 when South Carolina voters decided to follow orders:

"Biden, whose campaign fortunes had suffered as a result of poor performances in Iowa and New Hampshire, made a comeback by overwhelmingly winning the South Carolina primary, motivated by strong support from African-American voters, an endorsement from South Carolina Congressman Jim Clyburn, and Democratic establishment concerns about nominating Sanders."

Biden and Harris failed to inspire 70% of eligible voters to cast a ballot, and I can't help wondering if Bernie would have inspired more participation?

No, what it would do is make people more aware when government spends money. Right now we have a terrible voting system where people with little or no money can vote money from the pockets of other people. Government spending doesn't bother them the least because they won't have to pay for it.
Many people who aren't paid enough under capitalism to pay income tax pay a greater percentage of their income in taxes than those whose earnings require them to pay income taxes. Your notion that only those who pay income taxes deserve a vote completely ignores the fact that government's tax and trade policies largely determines who earns enough to pay income taxes.
 
If EVERYBODY had to start paying for these things, they wouldn't be so keen on supporting the politicians that want to spend this money for more votes and more power. This is why we are in so much debt today.
When politicians spend trillion$ bailing out corrupt speculators on Wall Street, do you think they are taking the money out of your taxes?

"The State Theory of Money

"After observing banknotes’ relation to reserves, Georg Friedrich Knapp proposed that money’s value did not result from any intrinsic value in metals but from the state’s ability to impose taxes."

Any examples? Be specific.
 
If people are not making enough money, it's their own fault, not that of the system. If you want to smoke pot precluding you from getting a higher paying job, that's a choice you made.
If rich capitalists bribe politicians to send your job to China, what choice did you have especially if the capitalists' profits aren't taxed in order to pay for your retraining?

In a free country, a government doesn't force industry to provide company benefits of government choice. Maybe they do that in Cuba or China, but not here. Same with jobs moving to China. Government doesn't move jogs overseas, free American companies do, and government leaves that up to them because free countries also don't tell companies what they can do when it comes to where they decide to manufacture their product.

It seems you have a lot to learn about this free country. such as a free country doesn't force consumers who to buy their products from. American consumers decide that for themselves. If the American consumer wants to buy cheaper products not made in the USA, then they have the choice to buy them.

Your notion that only those who pay income taxes deserve a vote completely ignores the fact that government's tax and trade policies largely determines who earns enough to pay income taxes.

We do pay a higher percentage of taxes, but those taxes we are assessed are more or less a savings account, or go to operate society you get advantages from every day. You drive on the road so you pay road, city or state tax. Even if you don't drive, you still use those roads to get mail, have your son, daughter, neighbor give you a ride to the store, take a cab. Speaking of stores, you pay taxes on those roads because that's how the products you buy with every shopping trip get to that store.

You enjoy the safety of street lights, a police officer or fireman when you need one, water and sewer lines that deliver you with water and waste service, schools for your kids or grandchildren to attend, new and maintained highways, state, city and county governments to conduct all these services, garbage pickup..........

Your payroll taxes you get back and even more if you live the average US lifespan. Yow will get back your and all your employers Social Security contributions. You will get back you and your employers Medicare contributions and much, much more.

Federal income taxes are used to run our federal programs and agencies. It's what supports the strongest military in the entire world, the freest government in the entire world. It's spent on things like keeping southern invaders from entering our country; at least until Biden takes over. And yes, it's spent on all those social programs like welfare, food stamps, HUD, Medicaid, foreign aid, subsidies to PBS, NPR, the Arts, just to name a few.

Most all people have enough to pay something towards federal income tax, so why don't they? Because then those people would no longer support wasteful spending by our federal government. The Federal government loves to waste money, because then they promise you something somebody else will have to pay for, they get your vote, and votes mean power and control.
