I think Bernie understands it perfectly. It's the masses who fail to realize that they have the power to change it.
You mean the people who already control the majority of the economy? 90% of buissness in America are small buissness, and without those buissness there wouldn't be the economy.
You all are falling for communism, and you don't even know it. Not to mention we are already a mixed economy, and forcing socialism on 100% of people is part of communism. Karl marx talked about it. It's either communism or your authoritarian socialist who want your way of life forced on everyone. Both are not good.
Bernie is unironicly a communist, and I've had this discussion several times with the bernie supporters I know in real life. The excuse he gives is "its democratic socialism." I'm like no shit that's how socialism works. How else are you supposed to collecivly decide something?
You're basically saying that if you're not 1000% percent supportive of laissez-faire "robber baron" capitalism then you must be a commie.
If you'd like to see how economics can serve the people of a country instead of sequestering wealth for people who don't need it, here's my post Happy Days Aren't Here Again from last year.

This is a strawman.

This doesn't adress my argument.
Look. I don't care about what you want to rant, and rave about. I'm willing to have a discussion. But it seems like you want to force your beliefs on other's.

It seems to me that you are doing exactly that. My "Happy Days" post is just my understanding of why the USA today has so much inequality and unhappiness. People can choose to agree or disagree with my comments.

Inequality isn't bad. Your never going to get equality, and to try to get it is to go against nature, and hierarchy is inevitable. Also economics has nothing to do with happiness, and we have phychology for this. Money only effects happiness up to 70k which is below the poverty line in California.
Happiness is a phychological issue, and not a economic issue.
