28. They really are killing this party aren't they?

Seriously, their proposal is to put social security funds in the stock market! The one thing we have been avoiding forever because what happens when we have another big crash?

Everyone in the party wants one simple thing:

TAX RICH PEOPLE AND BIG CORPORATIONS FOR GOD'S SAKE

Yet here we are with another "innovative" solution instead of just DOING WHAT IS RIGHT AND WHAT THE BASE WANTS.

For the longest time I believed we weren't bought and sold by wall street. I fought against it tooth and nail and declared we were the party of the little guy.
My god I was so delusional.
