I am a Hillary Clinton supporter, I did NOT support Bernie in the primary. Not because HE wasn't better than any conservative running ....(OR Donald Trump).... but because he wanted to give TOO MUCH "free stuff"
An example of the "free stuff" progressives want:
My 99 year old mother passed away last week. Before she did, the nursing home she landed in took $300 a day and needed an $11,000 down payment (not covered by insurance), the face value of any life insurance she had, the amount in any savings/checking account, her pension payments (all but $50), just to keep her alive. That is "FREE" stuff?? Our medical system is ranked 37th in the world! It is THEE most expensive in the world (info from the WHO and CIA). We don't want "free stuff", we want our tax money's worth MINUS the HUGE profits of BIG PHARMA and those at the top who store billions offshore to keep from paying THEIR share! We don't want "free" we want "reasonable" (read: Protection from sending everything we own to the top [less than] one percent!)! WE don't have to worry about that "dastardly inheritance tax", if one is sick it goes in THEIR coffers to be hidden overseas!
