My Mum gave birth to me at 19 and my Dad left us when I was 4 I saw once in a while but not much he was too busy intersected in his toys. We moved into mu Uncles house as we had no where else to go. I can remember ice forming on the windows there were 6 people living in that house and I went to some crappy wee state school where the "poor" kids went to take drugs, kill each other and get pissed. You would then leave school at 16 leave off the dole for a bit then get some crappy job in a supermarket before dying from a drug overdose or an alcohol related problem. So do you think I like the fact that there are people out there with so much when so many have so little? That I agreed with everything that billionaire said? No of course I didn't yet I respect him. I respect hard work which is how most of these people became successful. My mum born into a working class family, a teenage mother worked hard and ended up becoming the second most senior Civil Servant in Scotland and if she hadn't retired so early would have gone on to become the most senior.

Most of you expect from Ryccia probably don't even know what it's like to live in poverty. To go to bed some nights hungry since you can't afford to buy food, to go to a school where nearly everyone is destined to fail and to find that in the dead of Winter it's warmer outside than it is inside. Most of these people have worked bloody hard to get to where they are and I respect them for that. You can't punish people for being rich, yes they should pay more but to tax them so heavily is not right and is not fair.

You guys love pointing to Europe for examples so here are two. The Labour Party in 1979 lost the General Election for being too left wing yet they remained on the far left and they lost every election until 1997. When Tony Blair brought the party to the centre and they did so much and it was good stuff for working people. The Labour Party now has someone just like Bernie; Jeremy Corbyn. He was really popular with young people, is on the far left, anti-war, an outsider, for everyday people and against the rich. His supporters showed people polls that said that he was electable when the "establishment" said he wasn't. He was at one point (he may still be) the most unpopular Opposition Leader ever, his approve ratings within his own party are low, they are even lower with ordinary voters and are still slipping. That is why Conservatives wanted him elected and that is why Republicans want Sanders elected as they cannot win elections.

Republicans want Sanders nominated, Democrats want Trump nominated. What does that say?
